Circle has integrated Venice.ai, the privacy-focused AI platform founded by Erik Voorhees, into its Agent Marketplace. The platform enables AI agents to access Venice’s creative and inference services, including image generation and video creation, along with over 200 AI models, and pay for everything in USDC without needing API keys or accounts. The Agent Marketplace grew from over 600 services at launch in May 2026 to more than 900 services spanning 15-plus blockchains, with payments processed via the x402 protocol on Base and Solana. Venice processes over one million API calls daily and achieved unicorn status with a one billion dollar valuation following its Series A funding round.
