PANews reported on January 9th that, according to Bloomberg, stablecoin payment company Rain announced the completion of a new $250 million funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $1.95 billion. This round was led by ICONIQ, with participation from Sapphire Ventures, Dragonfly, Bessemer, Lightspeed, and Galaxy Ventures. This brings Rain's total funding to over $338 million.

Farooq Malik, co-founder and CEO of Rain, stated that the funds will be used to expand its operations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, and to help the company adapt to the rapidly changing global regulatory environment. Rain currently issues stablecoin payment cards in over 150 countries through a partnership with Visa, allowing cardholders to make purchases at local merchants or withdraw cash from ATMs. The company also plans to integrate with payment systems such as the US ACH and the European SEPA through partner financial institutions. Malik mentioned that the company may pursue strategic acquisitions in the future, having already acquired rewards platform Uptop and currency conversion platform Fern in the past year.

Water150 Unveils Historical Satra Brunn Well: The Original Source of 150 Years of Premium Quality Spring Water Hydration

The post Water150 Unveils Historical Satra Brunn Well: The Original Source of 150 Years of Premium Quality Spring Water Hydration appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Water150, the project developed by the Longhouse Foundation to reserve access to premium spring water through a transparent, blockchain-based ecosystem of natural water springs, is excited to introduce its first natural water well, Satra Brunn.  The Sätra Brunn well is one of Sweden’s oldest and best-preserved natural spring water wells, located in a 324-year-old Swedish village. Every water source added to the network will be measured according to the pedigree and based on the foundations of the historically reliable Satra Brunn natural spring, a well that has endured since the 18th century.   The Satra Brunn well secures the first 66 million liters of the annually replenished mineral water supply, starting in January 2027, for the next 150 years.
