Pundi AI Joins Circle Alliance, Integrating USDC for Seamless On-Chain AI Services

Alliance membership provides direct access to Circle resources and technical support to eliminate payment friction in decentralised AI economy as demand for blockchain-based AI services surges

Singapore, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pundi AI, the decentralised protocol transforming AI training data into community-owned assets, today announced its acceptance into the Circle Alliance Program, positioning itself to integrate USDC stablecoin payments directly into its AI ecosystem - enabling seamless, low-friction transactions for developers, data providers, and end users.

The integration will enable users to fund their blockchain wallets with USDC to instantly purchase tokenised datasets from Pundi AI Data Marketplace that can be further utilised for AI model training. Unlike traditional AI platforms that rely on credit cards or bank transfers, this approach eliminates payment delays and cross-border restrictions that often hinder global AI development.

The current payment infrastructure for AI services is fundamentally broken for a global, decentralised economy," said Zac Cheah, co-founder of Pundi AI. "By integrating USDC, we are eliminating the key friction points in the on-chain data marketplace. For sellers, it removes the risk of crypto price volatility, ensuring they receive the exact value they list their dataset for. For AI developers, it provides a simple and stable way to purchase training data from anywhere in the world.”

Addressing Key Infrastructure Gaps

Pundi AI joining Circle Alliance addresses several critical challenges in the emerging decentralised AI economy:

1. Payment Speed
2. Global Access
3. Cost Efficiency
4. Micropayments
