Virtual accounts are the dollar accounts a cross-border neobank gives a user so a client abroad can pay them. The money arrives as stablecoin, settles onchain, and the user sees a USD balance. It is a different rail from the deposit addresses we normally measure for a venue, and it is measured separately.

Raenest crossed $30M in September. Cumulative settlement reached $31.8M, on a record month of $8.92M — up 7.3% on August.

The rail is young. It carried effectively nothing until May 2026, then went from $0.21M to $6.59M in a single month and has grown every month since. Eleven months of history, and 97% of the volume arrived in the last four.

The record came on fewer payments

September processed 23,624 payments against August's 26,949 — about 3,300 fewer. Volume still set a record, because the average payment rose from $308 to $377, up 22%.

That is the more interesting half of the number. Growth on this rail in June, July and August came from more payments arriving. In September it came from larger ones.

What the payments look like

Payments between $500 and $5,000 are 19% of the count and 57% of the value. Payments under $50 are 22% of the count and 1.4% of the value. The shape is a long tail of small transfers under a concentrated middle — what paying contractors and freelancers in dollars looks like, rather than treasury movement.

Settlement is almost entirely USDC on Ethereum.

What this figure is, and is not

This is the virtual-account settlement we can attribute to Bridge, the issuing partner behind these accounts. It is a floor, not a ceiling.

A neobank can run virtual accounts through more than one partner, and can settle some of the same product in fiat, through correspondent banks or local rails that leave no onchain record. None of that is in this number, and we make no claim about how much of it exists. What we can say is that the flow attributed to this one rail crossed $30M in September, and that it is growing.
