Paxos has unveiled Paxos Labs, a new startup designed to help institutions integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) and onchain products directly into their apps and platforms, according to a report by The Block.
The new venture has been in development inside Paxos for the past six months, as institutional interest in DeFi and real-world asset tokenization has surged. Bhau Kotecha, co-founder and head of Paxos Labs, said the initiative is aimed at simplifying DeFi access for mainstream financial platforms.
“Paxos Labs is building easy-to-integrate APIs that enable customers to integrate DeFi products without internalizing the complexity of DeFi,” Kotecha told The Block.
Paxos Labs is offering a suite of tools tailored to consumer fintech apps, exchanges, and blockchain networks. These include solutions for issuing custom-branded stablecoins, deploying tokenized yield strategies, and managing structured digital assets — all with an emphasis on institutional-grade ease and compliance.
By allowing businesses to plug into DeFi markets without having to navigate the underlying technical complexity, Paxos aims to broaden adoption of tokenized financial services. The project aligns with growing demand from financial platforms seeking ways to integrate blockchain-based tools without the overhead of building internal infrastructure.
The launch underscores Paxos’ continued expansion in the regulated digital asset space, reinforcing its role as a key bridge between traditional finance and emerging blockchain technologies.
