Circle and ACI Worldwide are launching a proof of concept in Colombia to test how USDC settlement can work alongside payment infrastructure and workflows that financial institutions already use. According to Circle, institutions are increasingly examining how stablecoins could fit into their existing payment systems. The same announcement also promotes cirBTC, a 1:1 wrapped BTC token designed to let institutions use BTC onchain for borrowing, lending, liquidity, and settlement without selling their underlying holdings.
