According to a recent report by Juniper Research, cross-border stablecoin payments among businesses are expected to skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035. This forecast represents a substantial increase of 373 times the estimated $13.4 billion in 2024. The research firm attributes this growth to the advantages stablecoins offer over traditional correspondent banking channels, including programmability and rapid 24/7 settlement finality. As stablecoins address inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are becoming increasingly integral to international business transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements.
By 2035, Juniper Research predicts that 85% of stablecoin transaction value will stem from business-to-business payments, marking a shift from speculative assets to a core component of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan noted that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted where their benefits are most significant, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions. To capitalize on this trend, Jahan advises stablecoin issuers to focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships. This forecast aligns with a recent report by Chainalysis, which projected that stablecoins could become a fundamental layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes potentially reaching $719 trillion by 2035.
