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 superior programmability and 24/7 settlement finality compared to traditional correspondent banking channels.
As stablecoins address the current inefficiencies in cross-border payments, they are transitioning from speculative assets to a fundamental component of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research estimates that B2B transactions will account for 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035. The firm's analyst, Jawad Jahan, notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted where their advantages are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions. To capitalize on this trend, stablecoin issuers should focus on integrating with enterprises and forming treasury partnerships.
This forecast is consistent with a recent report by Chainalysis, which predicts that stablecoins will become a foundational layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035.
