A recent report by Juniper Research forecasts that the total value of stablecoin payments between businesses worldwide will surge to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a substantial increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the rising adoption of stablecoins in cross-border transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking systems due to their programmability and instant settlement capabilities. As stablecoins increasingly address the inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are transitioning from speculative assets to a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure.
By 2035, Juniper Research estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from business-to-business payments, driven by the benefits of speedy and efficient settlement. An analyst at Juniper Research noted that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but rather being adopted where their advantages are most significant, particularly in cross-border business-to-business transactions.
To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships.
