Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis predicts that the trading volume of stablecoins could reach $71.9 trillion by 2035. If two major catalysts materialize, it could potentially double to $150 trillion. The catalysts include the transfer of wealth to younger generations and stablecoins replacing traditional payment infrastructure.

Deep Liquidity TechFlow message: On April 09, according to Cointelegraph, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis released a report saying that, after stablecoin adjustments, transaction volume is expected to reach $7.19 trillion by 2035, representing a major increase from $2.8 trillion in 2025. If the two major macro catalysts are rolled out in sync, that figure could further double to $15 trillion, surpassing the current global annual transaction volume of about $10 trillion in cross-border payments.

The two catalysts are: Baby Boomer generation transferring more than $1 trillion in wealth to younger generations that prefer crypto assets, and stablecoins fully replacing traditional payment rails and becoming the default payment infrastructure. Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australia’s crypto exchange BTC Markets, noted that initiatives such as Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge, its collaboration with Mastercard and BVNK, and other measures all represent substantive strategic deployments. Combined with the regulatory clarity brought by the GENIUS Act, the scale of institutional participation is expected to increase significantly.
