According to a new report from Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is anticipated to reach $5 trillion by 2035. This represents a substantial increase of 373 times from the estimated $13.4 billion 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 24/7 settlement finality. Juniper Research notes that stablecoins are addressing current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, driving their adoption.
By 2035, it is estimated that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments, as these fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies transition from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure. The firm suggests that stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growth. This forecast aligns with a recent projection by Chainalysis, which predicted that stablecoins could become a foundational layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes potentially reaching $719 trillion by 2035.
