Onchain rails have proven their value.
Rain is making them usable by everyone, and keeping them invisible in the process.
Today, we’re announcing our $250M Series C at a $1.95B valuation to keep building.

Today’s the day — Plasma One is live.
On the surface, users enjoy a sleek UX. Under the hood, Rain’s stablecoin infra powers global spending everywhere Visa is accepted.
Congrats @Plasma team!
Most onchain exploits happen after deployment, not before. That's what @guardrailai was built to solve.
Rain has been a customer. Today we're bringing the team in-house.
Welcome to the newest Rainmakers!

Introducing Rewards.
It's the first onchain rewards program native to a card issuing stack.
Partners can offer the same caliber of rewards as traditional programs, plus capabilities those programs can't match.
When a user swipes their card, points are minted onchain once the
Stablecoin cards just reached feature parity with traditional programs.
Rewards are now built into Rain's issuing stack.
Combined with blockchain-native capabilities, it's the best of both worlds for our partners and their customers.
Onwards.
Latin America moved $1.5T onchain in three years.
Most of it in stablecoins.
Today we published the State of Stablecoins in Latin America.
The finding: adoption is structural, not speculative. And the companies driving it are homegrown.
🇦🇷 Argentina
The peso lost more than 99% of its value in a decade.
Households moved their savings into digital dollars, which now make up the majority of crypto bought on exchanges in the country.
