A recent report by Juniper Research forecasts that cross-border stablecoin payments between businesses will surge to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant 373-fold increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to stablecoins' increasing adoption in international B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and swift settlement finality.
As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions. To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships.
