A recent report by Juniper Research predicts that cross-border stablecoin payments between businesses will 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 use 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 24/7 settlement finality. As stablecoins address current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are expected to shift from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure, with 85% of their total transaction value in 2035 coming from B2B payments. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B payments, and advises stablecoin issuers to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capitalize on this growth.
