Under the Unified Trading Account (UTA), traders can engage in Spot, Spot Margin, Perpetual, Futures, and Options trading simultaneously without the need for fund transfers between multiple trading accounts. Assets held in the UTA can be used as collateral for both Spot and Derivatives trading, thereby enhancing capital efficiency.

However, while increasing capital utilization, losses incurred in Derivatives positions may impact your collateralized Spot assets. Hence, traders can employ Bybit Subaccount or Custom Collateral Selection to better manage their account fund risks.

Use Separate Subaccounts

In the UTA, traders cannot individually allocate assets for Spot or Derivatives trading. Therefore, traders can utilize Bybit Subaccounts to achieve this. Funds between the Main Account and Subaccounts are isolated, allowing for independent risk control. This is suitable for traders with various trading strategies or those looking to separate assets for risk management purposes.

Custom Collateral Asset Selection 

The UTA supports traders in customizing collateral asset selection. When a trader has disabled the collateral selection of an asset, that asset can only be used for Spot Trading and does not serve as a margin asset for Derivatives or Spot Margin trading.

Additionally, the asset will not be affected by liquidation under UTA accounts. This feature is beneficial for users who wish to conduct Spot trading only within their UTA accounts.
