Are there any theories that deny the continuum hypothesis that are used outside metamathematics?

ZFC is consistient with the negation of the continuum hypothesis. Do theories that deny the continuum hypothesis have any use outside of metamathematics at the moment?

For example, I know that theories that deny the axiom of choice enjoy use in constructive mathematics and category theory.

I know that one cool thing you can do with cardinality is easily prove that something without a given property exists by showing that the total number of things is more than the number of things with that property (irrational number, transcendent numbers, uncomputable numbers, although I think these examples where first proven via other methods). Adding more cardinal numbers would probably help with this.
