AI agents may become liquidity drivers for stablecoins, says Paxos Labs co-founder
As stablecoins pass $300 billion market cap, Paxos Labs’ Bhau Kotecha says AI agents could turn market fragmentation into an advantage by routing liquidity to top issuers.
The next wave of stablecoin adoption may not be led by people at all. Paxos Labs’ co-founder says AI agents could become the “X-factor,” instantly shifting liquidity to the most efficient issuers and turning market fragmentation into an advantage.
