A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that international stablecoin payments between businesses will skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a staggering 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 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 become a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 stemming from B2B transactions. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions.
To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships. This projection is consistent with a recent report by Chainalysis, which forecasts stablecoins to become a cornerstone of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
