According to a new report by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2035, representing a significant 373-fold increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing use of stablecoins in cross-border B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional correspondent banking channels due to their programmability and 24/7 settlement finality.
As stablecoins address the current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. By 2035, Juniper estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments. The firm suggests that stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growth. This projection aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which predicted that stablecoins will become a core component of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
