The firm also approved a $20 million share buyback program, intended to enhance shareholder value alongside its token investments.

The Rain platform operates on the Arbitrum and includes a 2.5% transaction fee designed to buy back and burn RAIN tokens, supporting supply-demand balance. Industry data shows prediction market trading volumes surged more than 1,200%, reaching $23.3 billion between February 2025 and February 2026.

Following the announcement, the RAIN token rose 7% to $0.009 before stabilizing near $0.0088, recording a modest 0.3% daily gain. Shares of Enlivex (ENVL) closed down 0.9% to $1.10 but climbed 4.5% in after-hours trading to $1.15.

The broader prediction market sector remains dominated by Kalshi and Polymarket, which together account for more than 80% of total trading volume, highlighting strong competition as new platforms seek market share.
