A recent study by Juniper Research predicts that international stablecoin transactions among 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 notes that stablecoins are becoming increasingly integral to cross-border B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements due to their programmability and ability to settle transactions 24/7.
This shift is driven by stablecoins addressing the existing inefficiencies in traditional cross-border payments. By 2035, Juniper Research estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments, with stablecoins transitioning from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure. The firm attributes the growth to the advantages stablecoins offer over traditional correspondent banking channels, including faster settlement times. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan emphasizes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but rather being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions.
He advises stablecoin issuers to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growing trend.
