PANews reported on April 9th ​​that, according to The Block, Chainalysis released a report predicting that stablecoin transaction volume could reach as high as $1500 trillion by 2035. Baseline growth alone could push adjusted stablecoin transaction volume to $719 trillion by 2035; this upper limit would be significantly higher if macroeconomic catalysts such as demographic shifts and merchant adoption were added. The report points out that stablecoins processed approximately $28 trillion in "real economic activity" in 2025; this data excludes transaction noise and only counts payments, remittances, and settlements. Two major driving forces include: an estimated $100 trillion in wealth will shift from older generations to the more digitally accustomed Millennials and Gen Z between 2028 and 2048; and stablecoins are becoming more deeply embedded in merchant checkout and back-end payment systems, with users unaware of the underlying encryption technology. Chainalysis predicts that stablecoin payment volume will be on par with Visa and Mastercard between 2031 and 2039.
