Its trading strategies include cross-exchange and cross-currency [arbitrage](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrage), funding rate arbitrage, market making, and over-the-counter trading. USDx is backed by [digital](https://iq.wiki/wiki/digital-assets) and tokenized assets, traditional assets, and related futures and hedging positions, while sUSDx lets eligible users share in trading returns through [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking). Axis also operates Axis Prime, which serves fintech companies, brokerages, remittance providers, and other financial businesses by aggregating liquidity, routing trades, and supporting cross-asset conversions and settlement. Its infrastructure uses [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) to manage token issuance, redemption, [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking), reward distribution, and access permissions, while trading and custody activities still rely partly on off-chain systems and counterparties.
