A new report by Juniper Research predicts 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 the increasing use of stablecoins in international business 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 inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 expected to come from B2B payments. The firm advises stablecoin issuers to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capitalize on this trend.
