WOW: Rain just raised $250M at a $1.95B valuation ๐คฏ
17x increase in 10 months. 30x card growth. 38x payment volume growth.
Stablecoin linked cards are on fire
---
What is Rain actually building?
- Rain is a Visa Principal Member.
- That's the same direct Visa relationship as JPMorgan Chase โ not a BIN sponsor, not a program manager.
Direct settlement. Direct product development. Direct control.
For a company founded in 2021, that's almost unheard of.
---
Why does that matter?
- Because Rain doesn't compete with stablecoin issuers.
- It makes stablecoins spendable.
- Anywhere Visa is accepted. 150 million merchants. 150+ countries.
The user sees a dollar balance.
The merchant sees a normal Visa transaction.
The stablecoin never surfaces.
---
Visa can authorize 65,000 transactions per second, 24/7.
But most bank settlement still follows bank hours. Authorize on Friday, holiday on Monday, settle on Tuesday. Credit risk builds up in those gaps.
Rain settles in USDC (which Visa has enabled)
That means 7-day settlement. No bank holiday delays. Reduced collateral requirements. Working capital that actually works.
As @raincards CEO put it: "It's difficult to imagine a world in 2030 where robots and spaceships coexist with bank holidays and wire cutoff times."
---
The Western Union partnership tells you where this is headed.
A 174-year-old remittance company just launched their own stablecoin (USDPT on Solana) and picked Rain as the first infrastructure partner for their Digital Asset Network.
That's 400,000+ retail locations. Stablecoin to cash conversion at the corner store.
---
The founders' history matters.
Farooq Malik was CIO at the North American Development Bank.
He saw cross-border payments break constantly and looked for a better rail.
Charles Naut is Stanford CS, founded a company acquired by Intuit, then was principal engineer at QuickBooks. He's built infrastructure at scale before.
---
Rain is processing $3B+ in annualized volume across 200+ partners.
- Western Union,
- Nuvei,
- KAST.
And something I keep hearing?
"This is one of the fastest growing companies in our portfolio"
From multiple investors.
Watch out for Rain making it Rain.

A simple rubric for stablecoins vs tokenized deposits.
Tokenized deposits are money that rests. Stablecoins are money that moves.
Tokenized deposits cannot exist outside the bank, but can attract yield (easier), have no off-ramping issues, and handle unlimited volume. Typically, large corporations also receive preferential lending rates for parking large amounts of deposits with a bank.
Stablecoins can exist on ANY platform with a compatible wallet, in ANY country, instantly. Theyโre more open-loop and not stuck inside the walls of one organization.
These are not the same value proposition.
They're not in competition with each other.
Regulators and banks think tokenized deposits are better. Stablecoin proponents think stablecoins are better. The reality is they're a trade off between risk and speed.
And, counter to the bank lobby or crypto lobby narrative. Stablecoins are good for some banks. Standard chartered, SoFi, Coastal Community Bank and countless others are using stablecoins for cross-border payments, sponsoring card programs and even just lowering their own costs.
So here's a fairer assessment of the differences:

๐จ BREAKING: Kraken acquires Reap for $600M.
Stripe bought Bridge for $1.1B. Mastercard bought BVNK for $1.8B. Now Kraken buys Reap for $600M.
$3.5B in stablecoin infrastructure M&A in 14 months.
Every category of payments company is racing to own stablecoin rails before they become as foundational as card networks.
Reap is Hong Kong-based, founded in 2018, already profitable. They issue Visa corporate cards funded by stablecoins, run cross-border settlement, and serve 22,000+ businesses across Asia.
----
To me it looks like Kraken paid for distribution and licenses in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Mexico. Not for technology they could build in-house.
Stablecoins and payments aren't cyclical unlike crypto trading.
In a bear market Spot trading margins are collapsing. Every cycle, the spread gets thinner. Exchanges that thrive need recurring revenue from services, not transaction fees from speculation.
---
Kraken has now spent roughly $2.7B on acquisitions.
- NinjaTrader ($1.5B for derivatives).
- Bitnomial ($550M for options). Backed (tokenized equities).
And now Reap for stablecoin-powered B2B payments.
That looks like a company assembling the pieces of a diversified financial services firm ahead of an IPO.
The stablecoin infrastructure land grab is accelerating because B2B stablecoin payment volumes went from under $100M/month in early 2023 to over $3B/month by 2025.
A 30x increase in two years.
Processors want it (Stripe). Card networks want it (Mastercard). And now exchanges want it too (Kraken).
The acquirers keep paying premium prices for the same thing: multi-jurisdictional licenses and live enterprise clients. The regulated plumbing.
The stablecoin stack is consolidating fast. And the companies buying it are the ones who understand that the money is in moving money, not trading it.
