Circle Pushes Deeper Into Latin America With USDC Settlement in Colombia
Summary
Circle and payments firm ACI Worldwide are piloting USDC settlement integration with Colombia’s existing banking rails. The test will connect Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure to ACI Connetic and explore how USDC can operate alongside Bre-B, Colombia’s instant-payments network, rather than replace traditional systems. The partnership targets financial institutions’ interest in fitting stablecoins into established treasury, governance and settlement processes. ACI’s platform can support other payment networks and digital-asset providers, while the initiative extends Circle’s Latin American expansion.
