what's Rain?
Rain is a global card issuing platform designed specifically for the crypto economy, enabling businesses and individuals to spend stablecoins and other digital assets seamlessly through Visa debit and credit cards. Built from the ground up for Web3 teams, DAOs, protocols, and NFT builders, Rain provides a financial stack that bridges onchain assets with traditional payment rails. Users can spend from self-custodial wallets, with support for instant settlements and tokenized receivables, making it easier to integrate crypto into everyday transactions without intermediaries. The platform powers physical and virtual cards that accept stablecoins like USDC, allowing for 24/7 global payments and compliance-focused infrastructure. Rain partners with major players such as Visa for onchain settlement and blockchains like Avalanche to enable spending of native assets (e.g., wAVAX, sAVAX) anywhere Visa is accepted. It also supports innovative use cases, such as state-issued stablecoins (e.g., Wyoming's FRNT) that are spendable from day one, streamlining benefits and refunds. Rain's technology emphasizes security and efficiency, with features like self-custodial spending and automated compliance for crypto-native entities. By focusing on stablecoin rails, it reduces friction in cross-border payments and expands the utility of digital assets in real-world commerce.
