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.
🧵

.@rooqster on never having a down quarter thanks to the teams building on Rain, and stablecoins becoming just money:
"From the very beginning of Rain to now, Rain has never had a down quarter."
"Last year we grew volume 30x, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. And it wasn't from a tiny base either."
"We're still signing customers faster than we're launching them. So there's a lot of growth in the tank."
Since the GENIUS Act passed: "People that you wouldn't expect to be interested in this technology… are not only showing up, raising their hands, saying: we actually have been thinking about this for a while."
"We're very fortunate to work with and support really, really excellent teams and founders… We're just a second-order beneficiary of this massive execution being done by really tremendous teams."
"I think you will see that this entire space will hyper accelerate."
On the early bet: "Stablecoins are not stablecoins — it's not digital crypto, it's not digital assets. It's just money."
With @MiguelArmaza on Fintech Leaders.
Our speakers for Raingentic Commerce Hackathon NYC know their way around $4B+ in capital, the biggest names in SaaS, and stablecoin infra live in 150+ countries. Now they're spending the weekend with you.
Rob Hadick, @HadickM ( @dragonfly_xyz ) - decides where crypto's smart money goes, shapes CFTC policy on the side.
Arnav Bimbhet, @abimbhet ( @FirstMarkCap ) - spotted Datadog, Snowflake, and Airbnb early. Now hunting what's next.
Charles Yoo-Naut, @cnaut ( @raincards ) - co-built the infrastructure powering this whole weekend.
Agentic commerce is still being written. Come help write it.

A closer look at scoped cards.
Stablecoin cards with programmable limits.
Built for programs with employees, contractors, vendors, and AI agents.
Define exactly what each card can do before it's issued.
Scoped cards are the building blocks: expense tools for distributed teams, agentic checkout, and any moment that calls for delegated spend.
