Paxos Labs Spins Out and Raises $12 Million for Enterprise Stablecoin Services

Paxos Labs says the new funding will support branded stablecoins and programmable dollar rails for large enterprises, expanding the company’s focus on enterprise digital dollar infrastructure.

Fact Check
The strongest evidence is the fetched Fortune article, "Exclusive: Paxos Labs raises $12 million after startup spins off from veteran stablecoin issuer," which directly states that Paxos Labs spun off from Paxos and raised $12 million led by Blockchain Capital, with Robot Ventures, Maelstrom, and Uniswap Labs participating. It also says Paxos Labs helps companies create branded stablecoins and lets customers access onchain lending and borrowing, which substantially matches the user's description of enterprise stablecoin services. The Odaily link traced back to that Fortune article, reinforcing source provenance. An X post from @blocknotify_com independently repeats the same financing details, though it is secondary and not validated by fetch. I could not fetch the provided The Block article in this run, so the assessment relies primarily on Fortune plus limited corroboration.
