Rain的聯合創始人兼首席執行官Farooq Malik告訴《財富》，“我們希望為全球人民提供美元服務。”

International businesses rely heavily on making payments in U.S. dollars and Malik noted that there’s a huge demand for such services.

國際業務在很大程度上依賴於以美元的價格付款，而馬利克（Malik）指出，對此類服務的需求很大。

“We’re able to service that and we’re able to provide it in partnership with Visa to accept payments at any store, online or offline, that accepts Visa.”

“我們能夠為此提供服務，並且能夠與Visa合作提供它，以接受接受簽證的任何商店，在線或離線的付款。”

The idea of crypto cards is not new. Crypto exchange Coinbase offers customers a Visa debit card that lets holders spend crypto—including stablecoins—and fiat-currencies directly from their Coinbase balance. Another crypto exchange, Gemini, offers its customers a credit card that doesn’t let holders make payments in crypto but rather provides crypto as a reward for spending a certain amount in dollars.

加密卡的想法並不是什麼新鮮事。 Crypto Exchange Coinbase為客戶提供了一張簽證借記卡，使持有人可以直接從共同基礎的餘額中使用加密貨幣（包括穩定的cratecoins）和菲亞特貨幣。另一種加密交易所Gemini為客戶提供了一張信用卡，該信用卡不允許持有人在加密貨幣中付款，而是提供加密貨幣作為獎勵以美元為美元的獎勵。

Rain will use the money raised in this round to expand its team, develop new technologies, and apply for additional regulatory licenses.
