# ZRX (0x Protocol) — Research Snapshot as of 2026-10-20

## What the asset is
ZRX is the native token of the 0x Protocol, an open-source, on-chain **decentralized exchange (DEX) infrastructure** layer that lets wallets and apps route and settle ERC-20 (and certain NFT) swaps across multiple blockchains without a central intermediary [[9]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/0x/)[[10]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/0x/)[[11]](https://tokenradar.ai/tokens/0x-protocol)[[21]](https://0x.org/). It is **not** a listed company, equity, ETF, or security — there are no earnings or share fundamentals [DOC-2][[9]](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/0x/). The "-USD" suffix simply denotes the quote currency of the ZRX/USD trading pair.
