Raenest's September 2026 Roundup

Did you feel it too? September seemed to disappear almost as soon as it arrived.

One minute, most of us were figuring out what we wanted to get done this month. The next thing, somehow, it was the last day of September, and October was already waiting around the corner. The month barely gave us time to settle in before it was asking us to move on.

Still, a month can be a blink, and a lot can happen in it. And at Raenest, we made sure to make those few weeks count. From new ways to grow your money to updates that make managing money across borders easier, we had quite a bit going on. Here’s a look at what happened at Raenest in September.

Product Update

New ACH deposit fees

We’ve made a small change to the cost of funding your USD account. ACH deposits of up to $500 now cost $2, while ACH deposits above $500 cost $4. Wire deposits remain at $10. The new pricing takes effect from October 6, so these will be the fees you’ll see when funding your USD account from then on.

Earn up to 7% yield on your USDT & USDC

Got USDC or USDT sitting in your Raenest wallet? They don’t have to just sit there anymore.

This month, we launched Raenest Stablecoin Vault, giving eligible users a way to earn variable yield on their USDC and USDT balances directly in the Raenest app. You can start with as little as $100; your earnings are added to your balance daily, and there’s no lock-up, so you can add to your Vault or withdraw your available funds when you need them. Terms and conditions apply.

It’s another way to make your money grow without moving it to another platform. 

More ways to manage stablecoins on Raenest

In addition to Raenest Stablecoin Vault, we also introduced dedicated USDC and USDT wallets in September. You can now receive and hold USDC and USDT in their original form, keep track of your balances and transaction history, send stablecoins across supported networks, convert between stablecoins and fiat, and spend directly from your stablecoin balances with your Raenest Card. Ready to put your stablecoins to work? Download/ Open the Raenest app to get started.

It’s award season at Raenest 🏆

There are people who build impressive things, and there are people who make sure others can build too. The ones sharing what they know, opening doors, creating opportunities, building communities and helping someone else get a little further than they would have on their own.

This October, we’re introducing the Raenest Community Impact Awards 2026 to celebrate them.

This award shines a light on the people creating meaningful value for others, from freelancers and creators to community builders, financial educators, tech innovators and rising stars. There are 12 categories, and yes, you can nominate someone who deserves their flowers. You can even nominate yourself. And the best part? We’ll be announcing the winners at Raenest Exchange on October 21. Know someone who deserves recognition? Put their name forward.

Freelancers, TechBaby has something for you

Freelancing comes with a lot of figuring it out as you go. How do you get noticed? How do you position yourself? How do you turn your skills into something people are willing to pay for? TechBaby has a few tips that can help you navigate some of those questions and approach freelancing with a little more intention. Watch the video and take a few notes.

AMD has crossed $1 trillion. Did you catch that?

AMD had quite a September. The stock jumped up to 10% in a single day, pushing the chipmaker’s market value above $1 trillion for the first time. After five straight days of gains, its shares had climbed about 24%.

If you’ve been watching AMD, you might be wondering whether it belongs in your portfolio. And it’s not the only option. With Raenest, you can invest in 4,000+ U.S. stocks and ETFs, starting from just $2. Got a U.S. stock in mind? You can buy it on Raenest.

Refer Raenest and earn 💸

You already know someone who could use Raenest. Your freelancer friend who’s still figuring out how to get paid globally. The friend who’s always asking how to receive USD. Or the one who keeps saying they need a better way to manage money across currencies. Send them your referral link, and when they sign up, you’ll earn $5. They get to experience Raenest; you get rewarded for the referral. Everybody wins.

Bella's Gems

September may have lasted approximately three business days, but thankfully, there were enough good things to keep us going. Here are Bella’s September Gems: three books to get lost in, three songs for the playlist, three movies for the evening, and three shows for when you say, “I’ll just watch one episode” and absolutely do not.

And that’s Raenest's September roundup. See you next month. 💙
