USDC (USDC) is part of a Colombian settlement pilot announced on October 27, 2026, by ACI Worldwide and Circle. The USDC price stands at 1.0010 USD as of October 27, 2026, according to Investing.com, while the dollar-pegged token remains close to its 1.00 USD target.

ACI pilot links USDC to Colombia payments

ACI Worldwide and Circle said on October 27, 2026, that a Colombian pilot will demonstrate how financial institutions can integrate USDC settlement into existing payment operations. The initiative uses ACI Connetic and focuses initially on Colombia, where ACI built infrastructure for Bre-B, the country's interoperable instant-payment system.

The companies described the project as a way to operate stablecoin settlement alongside traditional payment rails through one platform. ACI Connetic combines traditional payment types, digital assets and card payments in a cloud-based orchestration system, according to ACI Worldwide.

EBA supervision begins November 12

On October 14, 2026, the European Banking Authority classified USDC as the first significant e-money token among 45 notified tokens under the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, according to the EBA regulatory report. From November 12, 2026, the EBA is scheduled to supervise own funds, reserve assets, liquidity requirements and recovery and redemption plans for USDC, while the French supervisor retains responsibility for governance and outsourcing.

Circle's October 19, 2026, project information says USDC is redeemable one-to-one for US dollars and backed by cash and cash-equivalent assets. Circle also states that USDC was natively issued on 38 blockchain networks as of September 16, 2026, according to Circle. The regulatory transition therefore concerns reserve and liquidity supervision rather than a change to the token's stated redemption arrangement.
