The total value of cross-border B2B stablecoin transactions will reach $5 trillion by 2035, up from $13.4 billion in 2026, according to a study from Juniper Research.
The study suggested that the rapid uptake in the use of stablecoins was behind the projected growth as the new tech resolves inefficiencies in cross-border payments.
The research found that 85% of stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will be B2B, as stablecoins shift from a speculative asset to a foundational layer of institutional payment infrastructure.
Stablecoins are increasingly being embedded in cross-border B2B transactions, which will be the largest driver of stablecoin transaction value growth through 2035, the report said. They will also be used in treasury operations and supply chain settlements, where their programmability and 24/7 settlement finality offer advantages over correspondent banking rails.
“Stablecoins are not replacing payments infrastructure; they are being adopted where the advantages are most pronounced. Cross-border B2B is where those advantages are greatest, and where we expect the most sustained volume growth over the forecast period,” research analyst at Juniper Research, Jawad Jahan, said. “Stablecoin issuers and payment service providers should prioritise enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships to capture the majority of this value.”
The new market research suite provided analysis and forecasts of over 39,000 datapoints across 61 countries over ten years.
