USDC ($USDC ): Circle pushes deeper into Latin America with USDC settlement in Colombia
Circle announced a collaboration with payments‑tech firm ACI Worldwide to pilot USDC settlement within Colombia’s instant‑payments network. The partnership aims to integrate the stablecoin into the country’s existing real‑time payment infrastructure.
The pilot will test the use of USDC for instant, low‑cost transactions, allowing merchants and consumers to settle payments directly on the blockchain while leveraging Colombia’s domestic payment rails.
If successful, the initiative could broaden USDC’s footprint in Latin America, offering a regulated digital asset option for everyday payments and potentially accelerating broader adoption of stablecoins across the region.
