A new report from Juniper Research predicts that international B2B payments using stablecoins will skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035, representing a substantial increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the rising use of stablecoins in cross-border transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer significant advantages over traditional banking systems due to their programmability and ability to settle transactions 24/7. As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in global payments, they are expected to become a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B payments.
The integration of stablecoins in international business transactions is driven by their ability to provide faster settlement finality compared to correspondent banking channels. "The advantages of stablecoins are most pronounced in cross-border B2B transactions, which is where we anticipate the most sustained growth over the forecast period," stated Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan. To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers should focus on forming partnerships with enterprises and treasuries.
This projection aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which suggested that stablecoins are on track to become a core component of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
