[Circle Explores Integrating USDC Settlement into Latin American Bank Payment Systems] Odaily Planet Daily reports that stablecoin issuer Circle has announced a partnership with global payments technology company ACI Worldwide to explore integrating stablecoin settlement functionality, such as USDC, into existing banking and payment infrastructure in Latin America, initially focusing on Colombia. The two companies plan to combine ACI's cloud-native payment platform, ACI Connectic, with Circle's USDC infrastructure to demonstrate how stablecoin settlement can work seamlessly with traditional payment processes. This will help financial institutions evaluate relevant settlement models within their existing operations without needing to build separate digital asset payment systems.
