A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that stablecoin payments between international businesses will skyrocket 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 adoption 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 24/7 settlement finality. As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B transactions. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted where their advantages are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions.
To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers are advised to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships.
