Bhaumik (“Bhau”) Kotecha is the Co-Founder and Head of Paxos Labs, a startup spun out from Paxos in 2025 to empower institutions and developers with enterprise-grade infrastructure for on-chain financial products. At Paxos Labs, he leads the mission to remove the complexity of decentralized finance so partners can seamlessly embed trusted products—such as custom stablecoins, DeFi yield strategies, and tokenized assets—into their platforms. His vision blends the regulatory rigor and infrastructure expertise of Paxos with the agility and innovation of Web3, making it easier for financial services and fintech firms to adopt blockchain-based solutions at scale.
Before launching Paxos Labs, Kotecha built his career at the intersection of product strategy and go-to-market execution. At Paxos, he led product strategy for the Tokenization team after driving growth, analytics, and operations for the firm. He previously spent nearly six years at Block (formerly Square), where he directed go-to-market efforts for Cash App and Square. Beyond his leadership at Paxos Labs, Kotecha is an active angel investor and advisor in the fintech and Web3 ecosystem, and he has recently spoken on the importance of open, developer-friendly stablecoin infrastructure—highlighting proposals like Paxos Labs’ work on Hyperliquid’s USDH stablecoin, which prioritizes accessibility, liquidity, and sustainable token economics.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- Difference between Paxos and Paxos Labs
- Stablecoin adoption & liquidity
- Infrastructure for custom-branded stablecoins
- Tools for tokenized yield strategies & structured digital assets
- The economics and interoperability of stablecoins
- USDG and USDG0
