Below are the key ways people and organizations can use Axiom.

For XRP Holders

  • Test theories about regulation, partnerships, or catalysts

  • Move from “talking about outcomes on X” to “trading on outcomes on Axiom”

  • Earn transparent yield by staking in Axiom Prime

  • Participate in decentralized resolution and earn rewards

For Active Traders

Crypto traders can use Axiom to:

  • Hedge positions

  • Speculate on high volatility events

  • Trade short term narrative-driven markets

  • Access unique markets not available elsewhere

  • Earn yields through governance participation

For example, a trader long ETH could hedge a short term downside scenario by buying NO shares on an ETH price market on Axiom.
