Paxos Labs Co-Founder Sees “X-Factor” for Adoption
-
The next wave of stablecoin adoption may not come from humans at all. According to Bhau Kotecha, co-founder of Paxos Labs, autonomous AI agents could become the key drivers of stablecoin liquidity.
Kotecha told Cointelegraph that as regulations in the US bring more clarity to the market — now above $300 billion in total supply — fragmentation across issuers no longer has to be a problem.
“Fragmentation isn’t necessarily a deterrent; it can actually become a market-level optimizer,” Kotecha said. He believes AI agents will “switch instantly” to whichever stablecoin offers the best economics, compressing fees and forcing issuers to compete on fundamentals.

If AI agents become stablecoin market participants, liquidity could grow exponentially and continuously — machines don’t sleep or panic sell.
This shift could transform stablecoins from trading tools into the backbone of automated global commerce. -
Bhau Kotecha’s insight hints at a future where AI agents replace traders and remitters as the main users of stablecoins.
The result could be a 24/7 economy of intelligent agents conducting transactions far faster than humans ever could.
