Key ideas from Charles Yoo-Naut

  • Only 1% of US dollars are currently stablecoins, suggesting 100x growth potential from current levels
  • RAIN raised $250 million at $1.95 billion valuation after growing 80x in 12-18 months
  • RAIN achieved principal membership with Visa, allowing direct settlement and collapsing traditional card infrastructure stack
  • Majority of RAIN's revenue comes from international markets, not the US
  • Traditional card issuers must hold four days of reserves as collateral; RAIN only needs one day with stablecoin settlement
  • RAIN processes around $100 million in revenue through interchange fees and SaaS subscriptions
  • Western Union partnership enables stablecoin-powered remittances with instant cross-border settlement
  • On-chain credit through Credit Coup allows RAIN to tokenize receivables and borrow against future card payments
