A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that cross-border stablecoin payments between businesses will skyrocket 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 international B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and instant settlement finality. As stablecoins address the inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a fundamental layer of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B transactions. The firm's 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. This projection aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which expects stablecoins to become a core component of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
