According to a new study by Juniper Research, the total value of international stablecoin payments among businesses is expected to surge to $5 trillion by 2035. This represents a significant increase of 373 times from the estimated $13.4 billion in 2024.
The research firm attributes this growth to the rising 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 24/7 settlement finality. As stablecoins address 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 noted that stablecoins are being adopted where their advantages are most pronounced, particularly in cross-border B2B transactions, and advised stablecoin issuers to focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capture the majority of this value.
