News: Chainalysis projects stablecoin transaction volume to reach $719 trillion by 2035, with a potential upside of $1.5 quadrillion if payment use expands rapidly. The firm highlights a shift from crypto traders to broader payment and business use, with B2B payments currently accounting for 60% of real-economy volume. Ethereum is seeing activity shift to Layer 2 networks and Solana, driven by lower costs. Companies like Stripe and Mastercard are actively investing in stablecoin infrastructure. A wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to younger generations is also expected to contribute significantly to growth, potentially adding $508 trillion in volume by 2035.
AI Analysis: The report suggests a strong future for stablecoins as a mainstream payment method, potentially disrupting traditional financial rails. Increased institutional adoption and regulatory clarity (like the GENIUS Act) could further accelerate this growth.
