Stablecoin-powered cards and everything needed to support them
- Replying to @raincardsThe companies that built this market are local. @Bitso, @RipioApp, @MercadoPago, @belo_app, @somosmeru, @TakenosApp, and @Felixpago were all here years before stablecoins hit the global agenda. Full report, in English and Spanish:
- Replying to @raincards🇦🇷 Argentina The peso lost more than 99% of its value in a decade. Households moved their savings into digital dollars, which now make up the majority of crypto bought on exchanges in the country.

- Latin America moved $1.5T onchain in three years. Most of it in stablecoins. Today we published the State of Stablecoins in Latin America. The finding: adoption is structural, not speculative. And the companies driving it are homegrown.
- Rain is on the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100. The list features crypto natives ranked alongside the largest institutions in finance. Another sign that an industry once defined by speculation has become financial infrastructure that moves real value at global scale. Rain makes
- Excited to build on our @Mastercard principal membership and partner on Agent Pay for Machines. Payments made by machines will be far more frequent and far smaller than today's systems were designed for. This is another step in expanding support for the agentic future.
00:28As AI agents begin to act, payments move into the background — at machine speed and massive scale. Today we’re introducing Mastercard Agent Pay for Machines — bringing structure, governance, and trust to this new class of payments. Launching with 30+ partners to bring this to
