Rain, a leading global card issuance platform powered by stablecoins, has announced the expansion of its services to include native support for the Solana, Tron, and Stellar blockchains. This strategic enhancement reinforces the company's mission to build a modern financial infrastructure that is more accessible, programmable, and global.
Through these new integrations, Rain enables its partners to launch compliant payment card programs more efficiently by leveraging the unique advantages of each blockchain:
- The high throughput and low-cost infrastructure of Solana
- The extensive stablecoin ecosystem available on Tron
- The remittance-focused network capabilities of Stellar
This allows businesses to bring stablecoin utility into the real world for various payment use cases, including consumer and B2B payments, cross-border transactions, and platform payouts.
Multi-Blockchain Card Issuance Made Simple
Rain distinguishes itself as the only Visa principal member that enables partners to deploy and manage payment card programs across multiple blockchain networks simultaneously. The platform supports both custodial and non-custodial wallet infrastructures right out of the box, significantly simplifying how exchanges, fintech companies, neobanks, and other platforms issue globally functional payment cards.
With Rain's infrastructure, users can instantly spend their stablecoins at over 150 million merchants that accept Visa payments worldwide, effectively bridging the gap between digital assets and everyday commerce.
Charles Yoo-Naut, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Rain, emphasized the company's vision: "Building solutions that meet our partners' needs is fundamental to our mission of creating a more global, open, and efficient financial infrastructure. By adding native support for Solana, Tron, and Stellar, we're bringing our solutions to more ecosystems, helping partners build scalable, stablecoin-powered card programs that deliver better payment experiences for everyone."

Several innovative companies are already leveraging Rain's expanded multi-chain capabilities to enhance their payment offerings:

Solana's rapid and cost-effective architecture enables KAST to deliver seamless, real-time payment experiences to its growing global user base.
