Stablecoin Surge: $1.5 Quadrillion Flows Predicted by 2035

Blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis predicts stablecoin flows could surge to $1.5 quadrillion by 2035, a figure that would dwarf current global asset valuations.

This forecast considers two major catalysts: the transfer of $100 trillion in wealth from baby boomers to a crypto-native generation, and the widespread adoption of stablecoins as a primary payment infrastructure.

Chainalysis states that adjusted stablecoin volume could reach $719 trillion by 2035, a significant leap from $28 trillion in 2025. This accelerated growth requires a compound annual growth rate of nearly 133% over the next decade.

While some analysts view $1.5 quadrillion as a ceiling scenario, the ongoing development and infrastructure build-out, including major players like Stripe and Mastercard, suggest significant potential. Legislative certainty, such as the GENIUS Act, is also expected to drive increased institutional engagement.
