According to a report by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to 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 cross-border business-to-business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and rapid settlement finality.
Juniper Research notes that stablecoins are addressing current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. The firm predicts that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will come from B2B payments, driven by the integration of stablecoins in international payments, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements. "Stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted where their advantages are most pronounced," said Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan, highlighting cross-border B2B as the area with the greatest advantages and expected sustained volume growth. Jahan advises stablecoin issuers to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capture the majority of this value.
This forecast aligns with a recent report by Chainalysis, which predicted that stablecoins will become a foundational layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
