According to a report by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to reach $5 trillion by 2035, marking a significant increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the increasing use of stablecoins in cross-border business-to-business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and rapid settlement finality.
By 2035, it is estimated that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments, with stablecoins transitioning from speculative assets to a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure. The integration of stablecoins in international payments is driven by their ability to provide speedy 24/7 settlement finality, outperforming traditional banking rails. As stated by Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan, stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted in areas where their benefits are most pronounced, such as cross-border B2B transactions, which are expected to experience sustained volume growth. To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships.
