A recent study by Juniper Research predicts that international stablecoin payments between businesses will surge to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant 373-fold increase from the current estimated value of $13.4 billion. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing adoption 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. As stablecoins address the inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure.
By 2035, it is estimated that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted where their advantages are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions. To capitalize on this growth, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships.
