Stablecoins Set for Massive Growth, Reaching $1.5 Quadrillion by 2035

The financial industry is on the cusp of a significant transformation with the increasing adoption of stablecoins.

According to recent data, adjusted stablecoin volume has grown at a 133% compound annual growth rate since 2023, reaching $28 trillion in genuine economic activity in 2025. If this baseline trajectory continues, volumes could hit $719 trillion by 2035.

However, macro catalysts such as the historic generational wealth transfer and saturation of stablecoin acceptance at the point of sale may push adjusted volumes toward $1.5 quadrillion by 2035.

This shift is expected to be driven by demographic change, with an estimated $100 trillion in wealth moving from Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z between 2028 and 2048. These younger generations are more comfortable with crypto and will direct a growing share of this capital towards on-chain assets and rails.
