A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that international stablecoin payments between businesses will skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035, marking a substantial increase from the estimated $13.4 billion this year. The research firm attributes this growth to the rising 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 the existing inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from being a speculative asset to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure.
By 2035, B2B transactions are projected to account for 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value, with stablecoins becoming increasingly integral to international business payments, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements. 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 are advised to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships.
