The new tipping functionality enables creators to receive Bitcoin payments directly from viewers, expanding the platform’s existing monetization options. Over the past year, Rumble has increasingly developed blockchain integrations, aiming to introduce cryptocurrency tipping across multiple digital assets.
As creators attract global audiences, video platforms are turning to crypto-based payment systems to ensure faster, borderless transactions. Rumble’s move aligns with the growing wave of corporate adoption of cryptocurrencies in the US, which has accelerated since President Trump’s second term began.
On Friday, banking giant JP Morgan, managing over $4 trillion in assets, announced plans to accept Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings as collateral for institutional loans.
Bitcoin Price Forecast Today: Bears Mount Weekend Resistance at $112,300
Bitcoin price stabilized near $111,600 at press time on Saturday, October 25, recording a 1.5% intraday gain. However, trading activity dropped sharply, with BTC’s 24-hour volume falling 42% to $30.6 billion. The price uptick amid weaker trading volumes suggests that few large-sized buyers likely influenced the mild bounce.

Derivatives market data indicates that leverage remains heavily skewed toward bullish positions, with long contracts worth $7.83 billion open in the past week, compared to $5.2 billion in active shorts. Despite this, Coinglass Liquidation Map charts highlight a dense cluster of $920 million short contracts deployed around $112,310, accounting for 17% of total active short leverage positions.
If Bitcoin breaks through this resistance, analysts expect a relatively smooth upward path before encountering the next selling zone near $114,000. However, failure to sustain momentum could trigger liquidations, dragging prices back toward short-term support near $106,500 where bulls anchored $4.5 billion active long contracts.
