A new report by Juniper Research predicts that cross-border stablecoin payments between businesses will skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant 373-fold increase from this year's estimated total of $13.4 billion. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing adoption of stablecoins in international B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and rapid settlement finality. As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B transactions. The firm advises stablecoin issuers to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capitalize on this trend.
This forecast aligns with a recent prediction by Chainalysis, which expects stablecoins to become a fundamental layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
