Cross-border B2B stablecoin payments to hit $5 trillion by 2035, says Juniper Research
Juniper Research found that 85% of all stablecoin transaction value in 2035 will be driven by international business-to-business (B2B) payments.
What to know:
- International stablecoin payments among businesses are projected to reach $5 trillion by 2035, up from an estimated $13.4 billion this year, according to Juniper Research.
- Juniper expects 85 percent of stablecoin transaction value in 2035 to come from cross-border B2B uses, as the tokens shift from speculative assets to core institutional payment infrastructure.
- The firm says stablecoins are disrupting correspondent banking by offering programmable, 24/7 settlement for treasury, supply chain and cross-border payments, and urges issuers to prioritize enterprise integrations and treasury partnerships.
“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.
