According to a new report by Juniper Research, the total value of stablecoin payments between businesses worldwide is expected to skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035. This represents a staggering 373-fold increase from the estimated $13.4 billion in 2024.
The research firm attributes this growth to the rising adoption of stablecoins in cross-border B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer significant advantages over traditional banking channels. Juniper Research notes that stablecoins are increasingly being used to address the inefficiencies in cross-border payments, and by 2035, they are expected to account for 85% of all stablecoin transactions. As stablecoins transition from a speculative asset to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure, they are poised to disrupt traditional correspondent banking channels.
The firm's analyst, Jawad Jahan, emphasizes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but rather being adopted in areas where their benefits are most pronounced, such as cross-border B2B transactions. To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships. This forecast is consistent with a recent report by Chainalysis, which predicted that stablecoins will become a foundational layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
