This brings the Pundi X physical cryptocurrency payment project back into the spotlight. PUNDIX listed with 75x leverage The most notable feature of the newly launched PUNDIX/USDT perpetual contract is that it offers up to 75x leverage. Following Binance's announcement, market interest in the PUNDIX token, along with Pundi AI's interest and trading activities in the AI sector and DePin sector, significantly increased, driving its price to rise sharply in a short period. Pundi X Project: Blockchain Payment and Future Layout Pundi X is a project focused on integrating blockchain technology into physical payment scenarios. Its core product is the "XPOS," a point-of-sale (POS) system based on blockchain technology. The purpose of XPOS is to simplify the process for merchants and consumers to use cryptocurrencies for daily transactions, supporting various mainstream cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Binance Coin (BNB), and various token standards (ERC-20, BEP-20, TRC-20), with optional fiat settlement. According to the XPOS official website, its payment machines have cross-chain capabilities, support multiple major blockchain networks, and adopt a hybrid architecture to ensure transaction efficiency and security. Currently, XPOS has been deployed in over 25 countries and regions worldwide and has built a complete payment ecosystem together with the XPASS NFC card and XWallet mobile application. Pundi AI joins NVIDIA Inception Program Notably, Pundi X recently announced the upgrade of its sub-brand to Pundi AI and plans to integrate a decentralized AI data layer, positioning XPOS as a part of the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN), showing that it is actively exploring technological innovation and expanding application boundaries. On April 29, Pundi AI announced that it has successfully been selected for the NVIDIA Inception program. This program aims to support startups that drive industry innovation using cutting-edge technology. Pundi AI's goal is to establish an "open AI ecosystem" with services like "full-chain data layer," "data annotation platform," and "AI data trading market," all of which imply the potential to ensure data transparency, traceability, and secure transactions using blockchain technology. NVIDIA's support will accelerate the prototyping, development, and deployment of these decentralized AI applications. Pundi AI founder Zac Cheah emphasized, "Integrating into the NVIDIA ecosystem is key to maintaining a lead in AI innovation. From a blockchain research perspective, this represents the combination of top centralized AI computing power with potential decentralized data management and trading mechanisms, exploring new modes of collaboration between the two. Pundi AI can take this opportunity to communicate with other AI experts and enterprises, potentially promoting the application of blockchain technology in AI data verification, model sharing, or incentive mechanisms."
