# Applications & Use Cases

$USD0x is designed to be a **versatile financial instrument**, offering multiple utilities across different sectors of finance. Users can **deposit $USD0x into designated vaults** to access specific use cases, with the corresponding underlying assets being allocated accordingly. Some of the key applications include:

#### 1. Trading on Centralized Exchanges (CEXs)

Users who want to trade on major centralized exchanges can deposit their $USD0x into a designated vault.

This enables seamless leveraged trading, margin trading, and liquidity provisioning without requiring direct fiat transfers.

#### 2. Yield Optimization through $USDX

Holders can deploy their $USD0x into $USDX vaults to earn additional yield. $USDX is a delta-neutral synthetic stablecoin that captures basis arbitrage, allowing users to enhance their returns while maintaining capital efficiency.

Enterprises and institutional investors can deploy their $USD0x into the *Basic* vault to capture the underying return from the T-bill and its equivalents collaterals for corporate treasury management.
