A new report by Juniper Research forecasts that cross-border B2B stablecoin payments will skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a substantial increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing use 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 24/7 settlement capabilities.
As stablecoins address inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B transactions. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan suggests that stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growth. This prediction follows a recent report by Chainalysis, which projected stablecoin transaction volumes to reach $719 trillion by 2035, potentially replacing traditional payment rails.
