ZachXBT Warns: Rain Protocol Likely Linked to Serial Scam Team—Investors Advised to Avoid
According to an investigation by on-chain detective ZachXBT, Rain Protocol ($RAIN), a prediction market project with a market cap of approximately $8.8 billion, faces serious risks. ZachXBT traced on-chain addresses and found that RAIN’s team funding is linked to the Gems hot wallet. The same addresses previously transferred funds simultaneously for the failed projects DOP and TOMI—suggesting possible team overlap. TOMI, DOP, and Sirin Labs all trace back to controversial Israeli businessman Moshe Hogeg, who was detained in 2021 for crypto-related fraud and charged by police in 2023 with orchestrating a $290 million cryptocurrency fraud scheme. Additionally, $RAIN’s token price appears to be manipulated on-chain; its Total Value Locked (TVL) consists almost entirely of its own highly illiquid native token, and its annual fee revenue amounts to only about $1 million. Gems.vip—the launchpad that incubated these projects—is reportedly preparing a new presale for Kai Platform. Meanwhile, DOP’s previously raised $162 million remains unaccounted for, prompting ongoing complaints from retail investors.
Rain receives Mastercard support to advance on-chain settlement integration, valuation approaches $2 billion
stablecoin infrastructure startup Rain is now valued at $1.95 billion and has announced a partnership with payment giant Mastercard to issue credit and prepaid cards, while also exploring the use of stablecoins for payment settlements. Previously, Rain primarily relied on the Visa network for its card products. This collaboration with Mastercard marks its entry into a "dual-card network" strategy, further expanding its institutional client market. Rain stated that the partnership will focus on serving large institutional clients already deeply integrated with a single payment network, enabling them to introduce stablecoin settlement capabilities without altering their existing payment systems.Meanwhile, the application of stablecoins continues to expand across the industry, with institutions such as Stripe and Coinbase actively promoting the integration of stablecoin payments and settlements. This indicates that the convergence of traditional finance and crypto payment infrastructure is accelerating. Analysts suggest that as regulatory frameworks gradually become clearer, stablecoins are rapidly transitioning from trading tools to enterprise payment and cross-border settlement infrastructure.
