Sub-accounts are versatile tools for trading spot, leveraged spot, contracts, and depositing into standard sub-accounts—though withdrawals aren't permitted. Cryptocurrencies can only be transferred from your main account to sub-accounts. To move funds back to the main account, initiate the process from the main account dashboard.
