According to a new report by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to surge to $5 trillion by 2035. This represents a significant increase of 373 times the estimated total value of $13.4 billion for this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing use of stablecoins in cross-border business-to-business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and rapid settlement finality.
Juniper Research notes that stablecoins are addressing current inefficiencies in cross-border payments and are shifting from being speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. The firm estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will come from business-to-business transactions.
Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan suggests that stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growth. This forecast is supported by a recent report from Chainalysis, which predicts that stablecoins will become a fundamental layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
