A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that cross-border B2B stablecoin payments will surge to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant 373-fold increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing adoption of stablecoins in international business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking systems due to their programmability and rapid settlement capabilities. As stablecoins address the inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 stemming from B2B transactions. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions.
To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships.
