What exactly is the difference? What are they used for?
1. What is the Fund Account? What is the Spot Account?
-
Fund Account = Wallet (where assets are stored)
The Fund Account is your “main wallet” on the platform. It mainly stores your fiat and crypto assets, and serves as the source of funds for tools like Grid, Copy Trading, and API.
- Can be used for deposits and withdrawals
- Serves as the funding source for various products (Grid, Copy Trading, Perpetual Futures, etc.)
- Not used directly for spot trading
To put it simply:
👉 The Fund Account is like a “multi-purpose wallet” where all assets are stored first.
-
Spot Account = Account dedicated to spot trading (for trading use)
The Spot Account is only used for spot trading, placing orders, and receiving assets after trades.
- Before placing orders, you need to transfer assets from the Fund Account to the Spot Account
- Assets and PnL from trades are clearly displayed in the Spot Account
- Only shows spot trading-related balances for clearer visibility
In short:
👉 The Spot Account is your “trading account”.Trading Scenarios Recommended Account Description Trade Spot Pairs Spot Account Must transfer to here before trading Use Grid/Copy Trading Fund Account No change in rules, trade as usual Store assets without trading immediately Fund Account Better suited as a “fund reserve pool” View trading PnL performance Spot Account Clearer PnL records
FAQs
How to transfer assets before making a spot trade?
You must manually transfer assets from the Fund Account to the Spot Account before you can trade spot.
If you've completed the deposit but see “Available Balance: 0” on the trading page: 99% of the time this means funds haven't been transferred yet.
