How is yield transferred to the tokenholder and how often?

USDX is available in two versions, an accumulating token (USDX) and a rebasing token (rUSDX). While both versions pay out yield upon redemption and accrue yield daily, the manner in which the accrual is represented differs. For USDX, the accruing yield gets ‘accumulated’ into the token price. As the underlying investments accrue yield daily, we recognize this yield by increasing the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the underlying Fund, thereby increasing the NAV per USDX token. We typically update the price once every Business Day, generally at around 6pm ET. rUSDX, on the other hand, is intended to maintain a price of $1.00 per token, with the accruing yield represented by the division of rUSDX tokens into more tokens via rebasing. See our support documentation to learn more. As an example, let’s say you held 1 USDX token worth $100 and 100 rUSDX tokens worth $1.00 each. The next day the NAV per USDX token increased to $101 per token. After the price update and rebasing, your holdings of both rUSDX and USDX would be worth $101.00 each ($202.00 in total). You would still have a balance of 1 USDX token worth $101.00. However, due to the rebasing nature of rUSDX tokens, you would now hold 101 rUSDX tokens worth $1.00 per token.

Why tokenized money market funds?

Money Market Funds (MMFs) become more stable if investors can use their MMF shares directly as collateral, instead of selling them for cash. This reduces pressure on MMFs during market stress. Traditional: Investor sells MMF shares to get cash for margin call, causing fund outflows. Tokenized: Investor uses MMF shares/tokens directly as collateral, avoiding sale and fund outflows. Tokenized Money Market Fund:

  1. Investor buys tokenized MMF shares
  2. Shares held digitally in investor's wallet
  3. Investor can use tokens as collateral without selling
  4. Yield accrues to tokens (via price increase or rebasing)
  5. Investor sells or redeems tokens when needed Traditional Money Market Fund:
  6. Investor purchases MMF shares
  7. Shares held in brokerage account
  8. To use as collateral, investor must sell shares for cash
  9. Yield typically distributed or reinvested
  10. Investor redeems shares for cash when needed
