According to a new report by Juniper Research, cross-border stablecoin payments between businesses are expected to surge to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant increase from the current estimated value of $13.4 billion. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing adoption of stablecoins in international business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking systems due to their programmability and rapid settlement capabilities. By 2035, it is estimated that 85% of stablecoin transaction value will originate from business-to-business payments, as these fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies transition from speculative assets to a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure. The integration of stablecoins in global business payments is driven by their ability to address current inefficiencies in cross-border transactions, providing a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional banking channels.
As stated by Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan, "Stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted in areas where their advantages are most pronounced, with cross-border B2B transactions being a prime example." To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on integrating their services with enterprise systems and forming treasury partnerships.
