Rain

Mass stablecoin adoption doesn't happen without mass usability, and mass usability starts with payments. That’s the lens we’re bringing to Consensus 2026 in Miami on May 5–7. John Timoney Gomez will be speaking on the “Global Payments Pivot” panel on May 7, and Sean Clark and Jerry Li will be on the ground connecting with teams across the ecosystem. If you'll be in Miami, message us to meet up!

The Rain team will be out in full force for NY Fintech Week! We've planned a couple of events to connect with other teams shaping the future of financial infrastructure: - A morning run club on 4/28 - A padel tournament with Dragonfly on 4/29 (featuring Nick Pinto and some fellow Rainmakers on the court) If you'd like to join, message us for details.

"The innovation happening at the money layer is 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 than AI." Money is the largest market that exists, because payments underpin every single vertical and use case (including agentic commerce). As Farooq M. explains, what's actually happening beneath the surface is a wholesale upgrade of the global financial system as everything moves onchain. Most people just haven't realized it yet.

Rain is heading to Stablecon EMEA to connect with teams building the infrastructure that makes real-world stablecoin use cases possible. The systems taking shape today will redefine how money moves globally. Join us in Amsterdam to be part of the conversation, and use code rain200 for €200 off your ticket. 

Crossmint now supports stablecoin-backed credit cards, powered by Rain. Issuing a card normally means months of groundwork before you touch product code: BIN sponsorship, an issuing bank partner, KYC/AML infrastructure, card network licensing. Most fintechs never get there. With this integration, that changes. Crossmint handles wallets and authentication. Rain handles card issuance, program management, and compliance integration. You offer virtual Visa credit cards to your users, backed by stablecoin collateral, without building a card program from scratch. What the integration includes: - Virtual Visa credit card issuance via API - Stablecoin collateral backing the spending power - Real-time spending power and transaction monitoring If you are a fintech or crypto product that wants stablecoin-backed credit cards, we can help.

Rain will be in Miami for the Visa LAC Payment Trust Summit on April 9–10. Our team will be learning from industry leaders on what's driving payment performance today, from authorization decisions to fraud controls. If you’ll be around, come say hi to Kevin Carr, Camila Gonzalez Del Toro, and Matthew Nunnelley Baylen. 

Last week, we announced our expansion into APAC. Today, we’re sharing more of how that expansion comes to life. We’re partnering with Episode Six as a key processing partner for card programs across APAC, giving our partners the local infrastructure and processing capabilities needed to launch and scale in-region. Building globally means having the right foundation in each market, with the performance, flexibility, and compliance readiness to support programs at scale. APAC is the first chapter with Episode Six, with more to come as we expand together across additional markets, networks, and program types. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/egkqi27t

The way we talk about money is changing. Rain CEO Farooq M. explained that soon, the term “digital money” will sound just as dated at “mobile phone call.” Great discussion with Coinbase’s Aklil Ibssa, Alpaca’s Yoshi Yokokawa, and Utila’s Bentzi Rabi at The Montgomery Summit.
