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 adoption of stablecoins in B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels. As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure.
By 2035, Juniper Research expects 85% of stablecoin transaction value to come from B2B payments, driven by the benefits of speedy 24/7 settlement finality. The firm advises stablecoin issuers to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capitalize on this trend. This projection aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which estimates that stablecoin transaction volumes will reach $719 trillion by 2035, potentially replacing traditional payment rails.
