Gate News news，April 8，blockchain analytics company Chainalysis released a report stating that stablecoins handled $28 trillion in real economic activity in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate of 133% over the past three years. If that growth baseline is maintained, trading volume could reach $71.9 trillion by 2035. The report further raised its forecast to $1500 trillion after incorporating two additional macro factors. The first factor is the transfer of intergenerational wealth; between 2028 and 2048, about $100 trillion will move from the Baby Boomer generation to Millennials and Gen Z. Chainalysis estimates that this alone could increase stablecoin annual transaction volume by $50.8 trillion in 2035. The second factor is infrastructure expansion: stablecoin payment rails that connect to offline merchants and ecommerce sales terminals are expected to add an additional $23.2 trillion in annual transaction volume. The report notes that if the forecast materializes, stablecoin trading volume would exceed the total value of global real estate, listed stocks, and government bonds, and that the number of transactions could match Visa and Mastercard in the mid-2030s. Standard Chartered Bank previously estimated that the stablecoin market value would grow to $200 billion by 2028; currently, the total market value of stablecoins is about $31.7 billion. The report also points out that the forecast is based on relatively aggressive assumptions, including that younger generations will use stablecoins extensively for everyday payments, and that a 133% annual growth rate can be sustained for ten years.
