Cross-Border B2B Stablecoin Payments Forecast to Reach $5 Trillion by 2035, Juniper Research Reports

According to a new study by Juniper Research, the global volume of cross-border B2B payments settled via stablecoins is projected to surge to $5 trillion annually by 2035. This represents a significant increase from current levels, driven by the demand for faster, cheaper, and more transparent international transactions. The research highlights that stablecoins, pegged to fiat currencies like the US dollar, offer a compelling alternative to traditional banking rails for businesses, reducing settlement times from days to minutes. Key sectors such as supply chain finance, e-commerce, and remittances are expected to be early adopters. The report also notes that regulatory clarity and the development of compliant stablecoin infrastructure will be critical to achieving this growth trajectory. Major stablecoins like USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) are poised to benefit from this expansion, though competition from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could emerge. The forecast underscores the increasing institutional adoption of digital assets for real-world economic activity, signaling a paradigm shift in global trade finance.
