Rewarding fans with funds to spend in real time, at the game, seamlessly? Game changer. Psyched to be partnering with @SeatGeek and the @cavs on this!

[Charles Yoo-Naut (🌧️,🌧️) @cnaut]

With @SeatGeek, we're bringing tickets, payments, and rewards together in one app.

Fans can scan their tickets, use credits for concessions, and earn rewards, all in one place.

And with the same wallet and card, teams can extend that experience beyond the stadium.

Rain is partnering with @SeatGeek.

Bringing branded wallets, cards, payments, and rewards together inside Game Day Your Way.

This is the vision behind our acquisitions of Ansa and Uptop: giving businesses the building blocks to create a new generation of superapps.

[Rain @raincards]

Branded wallets, hybrid-loop payments, and onchain rewards. All in one integrated experience.

This is what we envisioned when we acquired Ansa and Uptop.

One of many superapps in the works, powered by Rain. https://t.co/9dXagxCyxi

[Rain @raincards]

Rain now powers @SeatGeek's Game Day Your Way.

Bringing tickets, payments, and rewards into one seamless experience.

Earn rewards at the game, then use them for a beer at a local bar after a win, all with one wallet and card.

Live with @cavs. More to come.

[Rain @raincards]

This builds on the Cavs Rewards program @uptop_xyz (acq’d by Rain) has powered for two seasons, which drove:

→ $8M in annualized spending at team sponsors
→ 3–5x returns for participating brands
→ 3,000+ rewards redeemed by fans

Now available to more teams through @SeatGeek.

So there are basically 3 ways an AI agent can pay with a card today. Where do each of these break?
(1) You hand the agent your 16 digit PAN. It works everywhere, but the merchant and your bank can’t tell a bot is buying, your full credential is sitting in someone’s system, and disputes get messy fast (“did you buy this, or did your agent?”)
(2) A network agent token. Visa Intelligent Commerce or Mastercard Agent Pay swap your card number for a token tied to that specific agent, with spending limits and a clear “an agent did this” signal. It’s the cleanest model, but it only works where issuers, acquirers and merchants have switched it on. A ton to be figured out here still
(3) A card the agent platform issues. Either stored value (you prefund a balance with the agent) or card fronting (the platform’s card pays the merchant, then it charges your real card behind the scenes). This works today and seems to be gaining steam as a preferred mode, it lets agents monetize payments as well

Every financial institution will need a strategy for tokenized money.

Rain can help.

[Jerry Li @_JerryLi]

Working with @whop has been nothing short of excellence.

I see firsthand how fast this team executes, and how deeply they care about their customers. Day in. Day out. We’re becoming a better platform at @raincards thanks to them. Massively deserved, congrats 🍾

Rain is powering one of the first projects out of BitGo Labs.

@gokubupay pairs a stablecoin-backed card with an AI assistant that analyzes spending, surfaces insights, and helps users make better financial decisions.

[BitGo @BitGo]

Today, BitGo launched BitGo Labs, a research and innovation unit to explore and build the next breakout application for digital assets.

If BitGo is the operating system crypto runs on, Labs is where we build the apps. We’re focused on use cases that only crypto can deliver, and we’re using AI and BitGo APIs to build them in months, not years.

Among BitGo Labs’ first projects is @gokubupay, a consumer application that uses an AI-powered card designed to optimize your spending, accepted wherever Visa is accepted. Gokubu is already live and users can sign up today at https://t.co/WlK33f74ys.

Learn how you can launch and scale quickly through BitGo Labs: https://t.co/cuNlBFQ2N5

Why Rain established the Agentic Payments Alliance.

[farooq 🌧 @rooqster]

How Rain is thinking about agentic commerce.

There's a lot that needs to be sorted out around consumer-directed agentic behavior.

For example, what happens when you ask an agent to book a nonrefundable dinner reservation and it books ten?

In traditional consumer payments, there are well-defined rules around refunds, merchant disputes, and chargebacks. We haven't yet established equivalent standards for agentic payments.

Can we take lessons from existing consumer protections to design systems that protect people when agents transact on their behalf?

Yes. And the need is immediate. Teams are already going live with agentic solutions on Rain, with more launching every month.

We can't wait for regulators to create these protections. The industry needs to come together to establish standards that regulators can then codify.

That's why we convened the Agentic Payments Alliance, working with Visa, Mastercard, and others to help define the rules of the road.

Whether you're looking to build or help shape industry standards, reach out. We'd love to work with you.
