A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that international stablecoin payments among businesses will surge to $5 trillion by 2035, 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 their programmability and instant settlement finality offer significant advantages over traditional banking channels.
As stablecoins address the current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from a speculative asset to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are 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 forecast is supported by a recent report from Chainalysis, which predicts that stablecoins will become a fundamental layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
