Alchemy Pay, a fiat-to-crypto payment platform, has partnered with Qubic, a Layer 1 blockchain that uses AI for Bitcoin-style mining. Under the partnership, $QUBIC, Qubic's native token, has been integrated into Alchemy Pay's global fiat on-ramp.

According to Alchemy Pay's official press release, the integration enables users in 173 countries and regions to buy $QUBIC with fiat currencies through widely used payment methods. The company said the move is intended to simplify the purchase process and reduce barriers that can discourage new users from accessing blockchain networks.

We're excited to support @Qubic 's $QUBIC on #AlchemyPay 's global fiat on-ramp, enabling users across 173 countries and regions to purchase $QUBIC directly with their preferred payment methods.

Alchemy Pay Expands Fiat Access for $QUBIC

The addition of Qubic's $QUBIC token to Alchemy Pay's on-ramp comes as demand grows for simpler fiat-to-crypto payment options alongside the development of AI-focused blockchain ecosystems. Fiat on-ramp integrations have become a common go-to-market step for emerging Layer 1 tokens, as they allow projects to reach retail users who may not yet hold intermediary cryptocurrencies needed for decentralized exchange purchases. The integration allows users to purchase $QUBIC using familiar payment channels, including Google Pay, Apple Pay, Mastercard, Visa, local bank transfers, and mobile wallets.

Through Alchemy Pay's existing payment infrastructure, users can access the Qubic network without relying on lengthy onboarding procedures or more complex crypto exchange processes. The approach is designed to improve accessibility for retail users and for participants interacting with decentralized AI applications for the first time.

Qubic's AI-native Layer 1 blockchain combines high-speed transfer processing with decentralized computing. The network uses a Useful Proof of Work (UPoW) consensus mechanism, applying computational power to the training of artificial neural ecosystems rather than to traditional mining calculations. This approach places Qubic among a growing segment of blockchain projects exploring ways to redirect proof-of-work computation toward productive AI training tasks, an area that has drawn attention as the convergence of blockchain and AI technologies accelerates.

In April 2022, Qubic reached peak throughput of 15.5 million transfers per second, verified by security platform CertiK. Alongside its feeless transfer mechanism and rapid finality, the platform is associated with decentralized AI-led applications and smart contracts.

Alchemy Pay described the integration as an important step in expanding its portfolio of supported digital assets while reinforcing its role in connecting the crypto sector with conventional finance.

Supporting AI-Driven Blockchain Development

According to Alchemy Pay, the payment gateway provides fiat access through more than 300 payment methods. Its global operations are also supported by a growing portfolio of regulatory licenses, which are typically required for fiat-to-crypto gateways to operate across multiple jurisdictions.

The inclusion of $QUBIC highlights the increasing convergence of blockchain and AI technologies. With the integration, Alchemy Pay aims to help lower entry barriers and support broader participation in Qubic's decentralized computing network. As AI-focused blockchain networks continue to develop, the availability of fiat access and the growth of developer ecosystems building decentralized AI applications on platforms like Qubic are likely to be key factors shaping broader adoption.
