Twice per week without fail: Them with enthusiasm - “You’re from Kansas? I was in Kansas City once and it was nice.” Me with equal enthusiasm - “KC is nice but I actually grew up 6 hours/370 miles from KC on a farm near a one stop light town.” Them-

Onchain rails have proven their value. Rain is making them usable by everyone, and keeping them invisible in the process. Today, we’re announcing our $250M Series C at a $1.95B valuation to keep building. 🧵

See you there! Staying offsite is the way to go. Reminds me of a vendor's CFO roundtable I attended this spring in Dallas. Every CFO said reducing non interest expense was a top 2 priority, yet almost all of them were staying onsite at the Ritz for $800/night. We drove 1 mile and paid 25% of that.

Registered for the acquired or be acquired conference. Looking forward to being back but not sure what the hotel is thinking charging those rates per night. Going to be renting an Airbnb for 10% the cost.

Wyoming just launched FRNT—the first US state-issued, dollar-pegged stablecoin—and made it spendable from day one via a Rain-issued card. The promise is huge: ✅ Instant tax refunds that are instantly spendable ✅ Streamlined social benefits that are easy to spend ✅ Automated vendor payouts that settle in seconds Honored to be part of making history. rain.xyz/resources/fron…

We couldn't have made it this far without the unwavering support from our clients, partners and investors. The Rain team is going to be moving even quicker - building things many thought impossible. It is still early. Can't wait to show you all that we have in store.

Excited to announce $24.5M in new funding for Rain led by @NorwestVP with participation from new investors @Galaxyhq, @CompoSecure, Goldcrest, Vinyl, @BDMIFund, @LatitudeCapital, Thayer and @_hardyaka, and existing investors @lightspeedvp, @cbventures, and @CanonicalCrypto. Powered by our @Visa Principal Membership and our unique blockchain infrastructure, we’re accelerating the global rollout of stablecoin-enabled card issuance, unlocking faster, more efficient payments.

@commbankerguy We did 2) 3 years ago due to sub s # of shareholders and ownership entity restrictions. Ownership was onboard to grow and reinvest earnings. More flexibility for the future and can always issue pref shares for those that want dividend when you need more capital to grow.

You’re a closely held less than a $1B bank with 20 years of management runway. Fork in the road: 1) Keep Sub S status, consolidate ownership to management and Board with buy backs over time. 2) Assuming C Corp tax rate gets lowered, Go C Corp and scale it up bigger Which do you choose??

@cooper_clawson Agreed…isn’t this the gist of the Chevron decision? Could have profound impact in the banking world…

KS and OK have ~10% of the US bank charters with most of those sub $2B, so statistically we’re likely to be in the small bank news more than you would expect given high bank per capita. I’m also for regulators having to justify enforcement by citing laws passed by congress vs. enforcement through internal memo & political vibes. Even if the bank is in the wrong, it takes courage to bring enforcement actions into the public arena.
Jordan Nelson@JNelly43

Man if there’s ever something wild going on in a small bank…it seems like it’s a certainty that it’s happening in either Kansas or Oklahoma! We’re awfully boring in the other 48 states…and that’s a compliment!

@shelbynewsad Agreed. A lot of stigma based on the old product feel and packaging, especially the round tin/plastic container. NickiStash has been a game changer there for discrete carrying in the workplace.

Using nicotine products for work makes me wonder how they were ever used as a ‘cool’ status symbol. When you have nicotine you’re more alert, focused, and generally ready to get sh*t done.

Behind every nominal deadline is an investment banker who gets paid contingently. Behind every delay is an attorney who gets paid by the hour.

I'm not a Chase apologist but: Chase is fighting for insured local deposits, which is the best kind of funding. To do that, they're showing up in communities as other banks downsize, growing in minority communities and pay market-leading wages for talent.
Rex Salisbury@rexsalisbury

JPM is so desperate for more deposits they will try anything...including building more branches. likely works in the short term, but it's not an effective long term strategy.
