Svmuu reported that Chainalysis released a report stating that adjusted stablecoin transaction volume is expected to reach $719 trillion by 2035, a significant increase from $28 trillion in 2025. If two major catalysts materialize—the transfer of $100 trillion in wealth from baby boomers to crypto-friendly generations, and stablecoins replacing traditional payment infrastructure—this figure could double to approximately $1,500 trillion, exceeding the current global cross-border payment total of about $1,000 trillion.
Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, stated that $1,500 trillion is an upper-bound scenario rather than a baseline forecast, but this goal is achievable as growth is accelerating. She noted that developments such as Stripe's acquisition of Bridge and Mastercard's partnership with BVNK indicate that infrastructure is being built. Coupled with regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act, institutional participation at scale becomes possible.
An OKX survey in January this year showed that 40% of Gen Z and 36% of millennials plan to increase their crypto activity this year, compared to 11% of baby boomers. An EY-Parthenon report from September last year revealed that 13% of global financial institutions and businesses already use stablecoins, and 54% of non-users expect to adopt them within 12 months.
