A recent report by Juniper Research forecasts that international stablecoin payments among 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 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 instant settlement finality. As stablecoins address the current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure, but rather being adopted where their benefits are most pronounced, with cross-border B2B transactions expected to drive the most sustained volume growth.
The firm advises stablecoin issuers to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capitalize on this trend. This prediction aligns with a recent forecast by Chainalysis, which projected that stablecoins could become a core component of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes potentially reaching $719 trillion by 2035.
