Circle and ACI Worldwide Launch USDC Settlement Pilot on Colombia’s Bre‑B Network
Current overview (not historical)
Circle and ACI Worldwide have begun a pilot to settle USDC on Colombia’s Bre‑B real‑time payment system, marking the first use of the digital dollar in a live inter‑bank network in Latin America. The pilot, focused on Colombia, aims to test how USDC can operate within a real‑time, account‑to‑account payment infrastructure and to lay the groundwork for a multi‑track ecosystem that could extend beyond the country. ACI’s Connetic platform provides the orchestration layer, while Circle supplies the USDC infrastructure. Together, they are evaluating the technical, regulatory, and operational aspects of digital‑currency settlement in a real‑time environment, potentially opening the door for broader adoption across the region’s payment rails.

Report first recorded Oct 28, 01:50
Circle has integrated USDC settlement into ACI Worldwide's banking infrastructure across Latin America, starting with a pilot in Colombia built on ACI's Bre-B instant-payments system. The collaboration pairs Circle's USDC with ACI's Connetic orchestration platform to demonstrate how stablecoin settlement can run alongside traditional payment rails rather than replace them. The pilot aims to test how a digital dollar like USDC can slot into Colombia's real-time, account-to-account Bre-B system to create a multi-rail ecosystem.
