Gate News message, April 9, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis recently released a report predicting that after a stablecoin adjustment, trading volume could reach $71.9 trillion by 2035, up sharply from $2.8 trillion in 2025. If the two major macro catalysts roll out in tandem, the figure could rise further to $1.5 quadrillion—exceeding the current annual transaction volume of about $1 trillion in global cross-border payments. The report states that the two catalysts are: the transfer of more than $1 trillion in wealth from the Baby Boomer generation to younger generations that prefer crypto assets, and stablecoins fully replacing the traditional payments track and becoming the default payment infrastructure. Rachael Lucas, an analyst at Australian crypto exchange BTC Markets, said that initiatives such as Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge and its collaboration with Mastercard and BVNK represent substantive strategic deployments, and combined with the regulatory clarity brought by the GENIUS Act, institutional participation could increase significantly.
