[ACI Worldwide and Circle Collaborate to Demonstrate USDC Settlement in Existing Payment Infrastructure in Latin America] Golden Finance reports that on October 27th, ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW) and Circle Internet Group (NYSE: CRCL) announced a collaboration to demonstrate how to integrate USDC stablecoin settlement into existing banking and payment infrastructure. This initiative leverages ACI's cloud-native payment orchestration platform, ACI Connectic, and Circle's USDC infrastructure. The initial focus is on Colombia—where ACI previously built core infrastructure for the country's Bre-B interoperable instant payment system. The plan will explore how stablecoins like USDC can supplement existing payment tracks and create a multi-track ecosystem. Craig Ramsey, Head of Global Account-to-Account Payments at ACI, stated that the discussion surrounding stablecoins is shifting from possibility to practicality; Kash Razzaghi, Chief Commercial Officer of Circle, stated that this move provides institutions with a pathway to explore integrating USDC into existing payment environments.
