Samsung Tosses Coins at Rain: $58M for Stablecoin Debauchery!

by

Rain, a San Francisco atelier, most spirited among fintechs, hath secured a purse of $58 million in Series B coin. And who, pray, are the generous patrons? Samsung! Sapphire! Dragonfly! And a merry host of ventures who would rather wager on blockchain than on their own wisdom! 💾😏

Rain, with the gusto of a nouveau riche at Versailles, cries that soon, stablecoins shall pour forth for daily commerce-a world where blockchain trumps bread and spectacles. Modern investors twirl their mustaches and pronounce, “Good heavens! Institutional confidence abounds! Surely we are not just repeating the folly of tulip mania?”

Rain’s Stablecoin FĂȘte: Cards and Comedy

Let us not forget: Samsung Next, ever vigilant for emerging gadgets and schemes, joins this rain-soaked bacchanal just five months after Rain waltzed away with $24.5 million in Series A. Now the coffers bulge with $88.5 million! Applause! (Or is it thunder?)

Jai Das, that eminent board director at Sapphire, proclaims from his balcony:

“Stablecoins have scaled to hundreds of billions in circulation, but until now, they couldn’t be easily spent,” he declaims with dramatic flair. “Rain connects stablecoins to Visa, turning them into money for everyday commerce. Or, as we say in French, ‘Comme ci, comme ça!’” 🎭

Infrastructure! Let us talk infrastructure, for every monarch must build his palace: Rain hands fintechs, banks, and marketplaces the schematics for cards, wallets, and payment programs-all backed by coins that never waver (so say the marketers). Transaction volume up tenfold! Millions of purchases flitting across 150 countries, the playbill says. The audience yawns, then claps politely. 👏

Farooq Malik, Rain’s CEO, intones, “Stablecoins are shifting to the backbone of global commerce. In a time long ago, money moved instantly. Then the bureaucrats entered. Now Rain brings back its original swiftness-borderless, platformless, timeless-even if our ancestors would balk.”

Stablecoins such as Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC still hold the largest purse, a fiscal colossus of $167 billion. But analysts, ever the optimists, foresee trillions showering down-unless, of course, the clouds part and reveal only folly.

The Payment Masquerade: A Duel of Titans!

Enterprise suitors piled in, waving GENIUS Act scrolls or MiCA parchments-blessed be legislative certainty, for it draws bankers like moths to a flame. Bank of America, among others, now dreams of its own court of stablecoins. Money-in! Storage! Spending! Payouts! Integration so simple, even MoliĂšre’s scullery maids might manage it. đŸ€‘

Rain settles all card payment volume in stablecoins, not those archaic fiat rails, granting compliance and flexibility with a flourish worthy of Harpagon. But beware the rival! MetaMask dares to enter the ballroom with its own Card, an audacious play to let users spend coins at Mastercard-accepting merchants. Is it a battle or is it a farce? Stay tuned-or buy popcorn. 🍿
