According to a new report by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to 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 cross-border business-to-business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional correspondent banking channels due to their programmability and 24/7 settlement finality.
As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from being a speculative asset to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. By 2035, Juniper Research estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value will come from B2B payments. The firm suggests that stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships to capture the majority of this value. This projection aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which predicted that stablecoins are on track to become a core component of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
