International stablecoin payments among businesses will total $5 trillion by 2035, fintech analysts Juniper Research said in a new report.
That figure would be 373 times greater than the estimated total value of $13.4 this year.
“Stablecoins are increasingly embedded in cross-border business-to-business (B2B) transactions, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, where their programmability and 24/7 settlement finality offers advantages over correspondent banking rails,” the research firm said, adding they are “causing disruption to correspondent banking channels.”
Juniper said the growth is driven by stablecoins increasingly addressing the current inefficiencies within cross-border payments that traditional finance handles.
The firm estimates that 85% of the total stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will come from B2B, with the fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies shifting from a speculative asset to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure.
Stablecoins are increasingly integrated in international payments among businesses, treasury operations, and supply chain settlements, because their speedy 24/7 settlement finality offers advantages over correspondent banking rails, the firm said.
“Stablecoins are not replacing payments infrastructure; they are being adopted where the advantages are most pronounced,” said Juniper Research Analyst Jawad Jahan. “Cross-border B2B is where those advantages are greatest, and where we expect the most sustained volume growth over the forecast period.”
He suggested stablecoin issuers should focus on enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capture the majority of this value.
Earlier this month, Chainalysis said stablecoins were on track to become a foundational layer of global finance, with adjusted transaction volumes projected to reach $719 trillion by 2035. The blockchain intelligence firm also said that when crypto becomes the default for the next generation, “the question is no longer if stablecoins compete with traditional rails, but how quickly they replace them.”
