1. Overview of CoinW Sub-Accounts
A CoinW sub-account is a “trade-only account” created by the main account. It is primarily used for optimizing risk management and fund allocation. Sub-accounts do not support deposits or withdrawals. Their trading permissions and account types (asset account, spot account, futures account) are uniformly configured and managed by the main account, allowing users to achieve more refined asset management and trading operations under the same fund system.
