Rumble & Tether Launch Decentralized AI Revolution: A ’Freedom-First’ Network for the Post-2025 Era
Big Tech's worst nightmare just got a crypto-powered upgrade.
Rumble—the video platform that became a free speech haven—is teaming up with stablecoin giant Tether to build an AI network that puts decentralization front and center. No gatekeepers, no woke algorithms, just raw machine learning fueled by USDT's liquidity firehose.
The Pitch: Uncensored AI for the Masses
Forget OpenAI's corporate sanitization or Google's virtue-signaling bots. This partnership promises AI tools that won't deplatform you for wrongthink—assuming you can handle the volatility of a system backed by a stablecoin that still gets side-eyed by regulators.
Why It Matters
As governments worldwide tighten AI controls (see: the EU's draconian Artificial Intelligence Act), this move creates a hedge against censorship. Tether's deep pockets and Rumble's anti-establishment cred could actually deliver an alternative to the AI oligopoly—or crash spectacularly trying.
The Bottom Line
Wall Street will dismiss this as 'fringe tech'... until it isn't. Remember when they laughed at Bitcoin in 2015? Today's rebel alliance often becomes tomorrow's trillion-dollar infrastructure. Just don't expect Morgan Stanley to include USDT-powered AI nodes in your 401(k) anytime soon.

Tether, which invested $775 million in Rumble earlier this year, will convert half of its €610 million loan to Northern Data into Rumble shares and refinance the rest. It also pledged to purchase $150 million of GPU services over two years and signed a $100 million ad deal to promote Rumble Wallet and creator monetization.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski called the deal a step toward a “Freedom-First AI ecosystem,” built independently of Big Tech.
Rumble$24.8 million in Q3 revenue and holds $293.8 million in liquidity, including 210 BTC.
