Rain launches an OpenClaw and AI agent-ready SDK for building independent prediction market platform
Rain, the prediction market protocol built for AI agents, is permissionless, fully compatible with OpenClaw, and enables anyone to launch an independent prediction market platform, receive grants of up to $50K, and earn 0.5% of the trading volume they generate
Panama City, March 20, 2026 - Rain, the decentralized prediction markets protocol, announces the launch of its AI agent-ready SDK and a $5 million grant program to support developers and creators worldwide in building, launching, and monetizing their own independent prediction market platforms. Open to builders and creators globally, the initiative aims to accelerate the growth of decentralized prediction markets by giving builders access to the funding and infrastructure needed to launch new platforms on top of the Rain protocol. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang recently described OpenClaw as part of a broader shift in AI, from systems that answer questions to ones that can actually perform work. OpenClaw allows us to have a personal agent, much like Microsoft allowed us to have a personal computer. Rain is built precisely for this shift, exposing the full stack of prediction markets - creation, pricing, trading, liquidity, and resolution - as simple, composable primitives. With Rain, builders using OpenClaw agents can take a single prompt and generate a live prediction market without manual coding or centralized gatekeepers. This allows anyone with an idea to turn it into a functioning market product more quickly than traditional development would allow. Prediction market platforms have dominated public discourse over the past few months and have quickly gained unprecedented popularity. Yet even as platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi pursue valuations approaching $20 billion and present themselves as part of a more open financial future, much of the ecosystem remains far more centralized than it appears. Most platforms offer APIs and SDKs that limit interaction to markets the platform itself created. This creates an environment where developers can build discovery, analytics, or trading tools around these markets, but they cannot create new ones independently. As interest in prediction markets continues to grow, Rain is opening the system up to a wider group of builders. Developers and AI agents will have access not only to existing markets, but also to the infrastructure needed to create and launch their own applications and prediction markets directly on the protocol. The $5 million grant program will allocate $3 million directly to development building on the protocol, while the remaining $2 million will fund a daily rewards system designed to incentivize ongoing activity across the ecosystem. Rain is the first protocol in the industry that lets anyone create and launch fully functional prediction markets on any topic, in any language. Builders maintain full control over their product, branding, and regulatory strategy, while using Rain as the underlying technology layer. The program also gives builders a direct path to participate in the category’s growth. Every builder earns a flat 0.5% share of the trading volume they generate. The commission is paid directly from Rain’s token allocation, creating a predictable revenue stream for builders who drive activity on the platform.
In the past year, prediction markets have become one of the most talked about sectors in the market, and Rain is now changing how these platforms are built. We designed our SDK specifically for OpenClaw and AI agents, allowing anyone to take an initial prompt to a fully live, functional platform. With a $5M pool that is nearly double the industry standard, we give creators the resources to move beyond just pulling data and actually launch their own platforms and create their own markets. By making it easy for anyone to bring their ideas to life with OpenClaw and Rain’s SDK, we are building a colorful ecosystem that pushes the boundaries of what prediction markets can become. says Roy Shaham, CEO of Rain

Using the machine-readable Rain SDK, developers and AI agents can launch independent markets and niche apps.

Matrixport Rebrands as BIT in Strategic Repositioning
Publishes Trust Whitepaper outlining governance and operational frameworks as institutional participation in digital asset markets grows.
Matrixport announced that it has rebranded as BIT, reflecting the firm’s continued development in digital asset financial infrastructure and services. Going forward, the firm will operate under the BIT brand. The rebrand marks the next phase of the firm’s development as digital asset markets continue to mature and participation expands across institutions and individual investors globally. Institutional participation in particular has increased demand for stronger governance, operational controls and financial infrastructure across the digital asset sector. Alongside the brand transition, the firm also published its BIT 2026 Trust Whitepaper, outlining the governance, risk management and operational frameworks supporting its services. The paper provides a structured overview of the firm’s governance, compliance and operational foundations. Commenting on the rebrand, John Ge, CEO of BIT, said: Digital asset markets are entering a phase in which governance, transparency and operational discipline are increasingly important. BIT reflects the continued evolution of our business and our commitment to building trusted digital asset financial infrastructure. ‘Bridge into Tomorrow’ reflects BIT’s role in connecting today’s financial system with the future of digital markets.
The company said the rebrand would not affect existing client accounts, products or services and that legal entities and contractual arrangements would remain unchanged. As part of this next phase, the Singapore-headquartered firm is also exploring potential U.S. capital markets opportunities, including a possible public listing.
About BIT (formerly Matrixport) BIT (formerly Matrixport) is a global digital asset financial infrastructure and services group focused on building long-term financial infrastructure for modern investors. Built on integrity and trust, BIT bridges traditional finance and digital assets through disciplined governance, advanced technology and regulatory compliance. Founded in 2019, BIT has grown into a unicorn with a valuation exceeding US$1 billion. Headquartered in Singapore with seven offices worldwide, BIT manages over US$6 billion in assets and facilitates more than US$7 billion in monthly trading volume, with cumulative interest payments exceeding US$2 billion. BIT offers digital financial services including custody, trading, asset and wealth management, liquidity and financing solutions, and tokenised real-world assets (RWA), serving institutional and professional investors globally. BIT Group entities maintain a licensed and regulated footprint across Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and Bhutan, including a Major Payment Institution licence in Singapore and a FINMA-licensed Manager of Collective Assets in Switzerland. BIT has been recognised on the Hurun 2024 Global Unicorn Index and the 2025 Singapore FinTech Unicorn List.
2026 market data show significant interest in tokenized commodities, particularly gold. The market for tokenized commodities grew from less than $1.2 billion in early 2025 to approximately $5.5 billion by early 2026, with gold-backed tokens dominating nearly the entire sector. For forward-looking fintech and blockchain companies exploring real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, Africa’s vast gold reserves are increasingly seen as a strategic frontier. According to Africa Finance Corporation analysis, Arfica’s geological formations contain an estimated $5 trillion worth of gold resources at current mine-site valuations, including more than $1 trillion in undeveloped reserves. On the background of visible market trends, Aurum Foundation, AI-powered trading ecosystem, is expanding its Africa focus with the official appointment of Bockarie Albert Kalokoh as Chief of Africa Relations.
The hire brings in someone with experience across government, commercial banking, and private-sector finance at a time when more blockchain firms are trying to build ties with local financial systems and commodity markets. For Aurum, that matters as it continues to build its broader real-world asset strategy. Kalokoh’s career has largely been shaped by work across Africa’s financial and public sectors. He previously served as Deputy Minister of Finance II, where he was involved in public financial management reforms, revenue-related policy work, and debt sustainability discussions with institutions including the IMF, World Bank, and African Development Bank. Experience Across Public Finance and Banking Before his time in government, Kalokoh built much of his reputation in banking. He held senior leadership roles at Sierra Leone Commercial Bank, including Deputy Managing Director and, at times, Acting Managing Director. That part of his career was closely tied to digital modernization efforts inside a traditional banking institution. Earlier in his career, he worked as a financial analyst at KPMG in Lagos, giving him experience in a regional professional services environment before moving into more senior public and financial leadership roles. That mix of government finance, banking operations, and institutional engagement is likely what makes him relevant to Aurum’s next phase. Real-world asset projects often talk about tokenization in technical terms, but execution usually depends on something less visible: relationships, regulatory understanding, and credibility across existing financial networks. Building Links Between Finance and Commodities Kalokoh’s more recent private-sector roles add another layer to that profile. He currently serves as Senior Vice President at Clinq DMCC in Dubai, where he oversees strategic operations and financial structuring, and as CEO of Clinq Mining SL Ltd in Sierra Leone, where his focus is tied to the country’s mineral sector.
Taken together, those roles place him close to both the financial and commodity sides of the market. That matters for a company like Aurum, which is trying to connect blockchain infrastructure with asset-backed financial models. In practical terms, Aurum says Kalokoh will focus on building strategic relationships across Africa and strengthening collaboration between financial institutions, commodity producers, and digital asset platforms. His background suggests this is less a symbolic appointment and more a sign that Aurum wants people who understand how these systems work on the ground. A More Practical RWA Strategy The broader takeaway is that Aurum appears to be leaning further into the real-world side of real-world assets. That means looking beyond tokenization as a concept and toward the policy, banking, and commodity networks needed to support it. Kalokoh’s experience does not come from crypto alone. It comes from the institutions, reforms, and financial structures that blockchain projects increasingly need to engage with if they want RWA strategies to move beyond marketing and into execution.
