Catenaa, Saturday, December 27, 2025-Intuit has partnered with Circle to enable USDC-based stablecoin payments across its TurboTax and QuickBooks platforms, aiming to streamline transactions for refunds, business payouts, and other financial services.

The multiyear agreement gives Intuit access to Circle’s stablecoin infrastructure, supporting faster and lower-cost payment flows.

The partnership does not yet specify whether USDC will be held directly by users or function initially as a backend payment rail.

USDC, the world’s second-largest dollar-backed stablecoin, has a circulating supply exceeding $78 billion.

The integration reflects growing interest from fintech and payments firms in using stablecoins as alternatives to traditional ACH and wire transfers, particularly for 24/7 and cross-border settlement.

The GENIUS Act, passed earlier this year, established a federal regulatory framework for dollar-backed stablecoins in the US, reinforcing the adoption outlook.

Intuit serves over 100 million customers and processes billions annually through payroll, tax refunds, invoicing, and small-business payments.

The stablecoin integration aligns with broader efforts to modernize its financial infrastructure and accelerate digital transaction capabilities.
