Stablecoins Could Reach $719 Trillion by 2035, With Path Toward $1.5 Quadrillion Expansion

The analysis also points to growing merchant acceptance as a critical factor in mainstream adoption. As stablecoins become embedded in everyday transactions, traditional payment providers may face increasing competition from on-chain alternatives. At scale, merchant integration reduces user friction, enabling stablecoins to function as default payment rails rather than optional tools. This shift could compress margins for intermediaries while redistributing value across issuers, wallets, and on-chain infrastructure providers.
