According to a new report by Juniper Research, the total value of stablecoin payments between businesses worldwide is expected to skyrocket to $5 trillion by 2035. This staggering figure represents a 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 B2B transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where they offer significant advantages over traditional banking channels due to their programmability and rapid settlement finality.
As stablecoins address the current inefficiencies in international payments, they are shifting from speculative assets to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure. Juniper Research predicts that 85% of stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will come from B2B payments, with stablecoins becoming an integral part of global business transactions.
The firm's analyst, Jawad Jahan, notes that stablecoins are not replacing existing payment infrastructure but are being adopted where their benefits 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 projected that stablecoins could become a cornerstone of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes potentially reaching $719 trillion by 2035.
