Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a Sub-Account?
You can add auxiliary accounts, or Sub-Accounts, to your main account. The purpose of this feature is to open up new avenues for investment management.
Up to three sub-accounts may be added to your profile in order to effectively arrange and carry out various trading strategies. This implies that you can experiment with different trading strategies in the secondary account, all the while maintaining the security of your Main Account’s settings and funds. It’s a wise method of experimenting with different market strategies and diversifying your portfolio without jeopardizing your primary investments.
How to Add a Sub-Account?
You can create Sub-Accounts using the WhiteBIT mobile app or website. The following are the easy steps to register a sub-account:1. Select "Sub-Account" after choosing "Settings" and "General Settings".
2. Input the Sub-Account (Label) name and, if desired, an email address. Later on, you can modify the Label in the "Settings" as often as necessary. The Label needs to be distinct in one Main Account.

4. To share the identity verification certificate with the sub-account, confirm the share KYC option. This is the only step where this option is available. Should KYC be withheld during registration, the Sub-Account user is responsible for filling it out on their own.

How to Trade Crypto on WhiteBIT
What is Spot Trading?
What is Spot Trading in Cryptocurrency
Spot trading entails, to put it simply, buying and selling cryptocurrencies at the current market price, on the spot."Spot" in this sense refers to the actual physical exchange of assets whereby ownership is changed. In contrast, with derivatives such as futures, the transaction takes place at a later time.
The spot market enables you to transact in situations where the seller instantly sells you cryptocurrency after you purchase a specific quantity of it. Both parties can quickly and in real-time obtain the desired assets thanks to this instantaneous exchange. Thus, without the need for futures or other derivative instruments, trading in the cryptocurrency spot market allows for the instantaneous purchase and sale of digital assets.
How Does Crypto Spot Trading Work?
Transaction settlements take place "on the spot" or instantaneously, which is why spot trading got its name. Furthermore, this idea frequently incorporates the roles of an order book, sellers, and buyers.
It’s easy. While buyers submit an order to buy an asset at a specific buying price (known as the Bid), sellers place an order with a specific selling price (known as the Ask). The bid price is the lowest amount a seller is willing to take as payment, and the asking price is the maximum amount a buyer is willing to pay.
An order book with two sides—the bid side for buyers and the ask side for sellers—is used to record orders and offers. For example, the instantaneous recording of a user’s order to purchase Bitcoin occurs on the bid side of the order book. When a seller provides the precise specification, the order is fulfilled automatically. Potential buyers are represented by the green (bids) orders, and potential sellers are represented by the red (asks) orders.
Pros and Cons of Crypto Spot Trading
Spot trading cryptocurrencies has benefits and drawbacks, just like any other trading strategy.
Pros:
- Simpleness: Both medium- and long-term investment strategies can be successful in this market. Without having to worry about commissions for holding a position, contract expiration dates, or other issues, you can hold onto the cryptocurrency for a long time and wait for its price to rise.
One of the most important distinctions between spot and futures trading in cryptocurrency is this.
- Speed and Liquidity: It makes it possible to sell an asset fast and effortlessly without depressing its market value. A trade can be opened and closed at any moment. This enables profitable responses to fluctuations in rates in a timely manner.
- Transparency: Spot market prices are determined by supply and demand and are based on current market data. Spot trading doesn’t require extensive knowledge of derivatives or finance. The fundamental ideas of trading can help you get started.
Cons:
- No leverage: Since spot trading doesn’t offer this kind of instrument, all you can do is trade with your own money. Sure, this lowers the likelihood of profits, but it also has the potential to lower losses.
- Unable to initiate short positions: Put another way, you are unable to profit from declining prices. Making money therefore becomes more difficult during a bear market.
- No hedging: Unlike with derivatives, spot trading does not allow you to hedge market price fluctuations.
