For new users, especially beginners who are just getting started with MEXC, the presence of multiple accounts can be confusing. This article will explain the different types of accounts on MEXC and the relationships between them.
There are four types of accounts on MEXC: Spot, Futures, Fiat, and Copy Trade.
The spot account is the account you use for spot trading. When you engage in spot trading on the MEXC platform, the crypto assets you use come from this spot account.
The futures account is the account you use for futures trading. When you engage in futures trading on the MEXC platform, including both USDT-M and Coin-M contracts, the cryptocurrency assets you use come from this futures account.
The fiat account is the account you use for deposits and withdrawals. When you exchange fiat currency for cryptocurrency or convert cryptocurrency back to fiat currency, these transactions are completed using this fiat account.
In futures trading, there is a trading method called copy trading. Copy trading refers to following other professional traders. When the trader initiates a lead trade, the system places orders for you based on the same strategy as the trader. The trader will receive a portion of your profits as a result. When you engage in futures trading through copy trading, the assets associated with this method are held in a copy trade account. It's important to note that even though copy trading is a form of futures trading, the assets related to copy trading are kept in a separate copy trade account.
We will introduce the relationships between these accounts following the path of your funds from the time they enter the MEXC platform to exiting it.
When you start trading, you need to convert your fiat currency into cryptocurrency. The converted cryptocurrency is stored in your fiat account.
Now that you have cryptocurrency in your fiat account, if you want to start spot trading, you need to transfer funds from your fiat account to your spot account. Similarly, if you want to start futures trading, you need to transfer funds from your fiat account to your futures account. The transfer function will not incur any transaction fees.
Funds can also be directly transferred between the spot account and the futures account.
If you want to engage in copy trading, you need to transfer cryptocurrency from your futures account or fiat account to your spot account. After you submit the copy trade information, the system will transfer the funds you allocated from your spot account to your copy trading account.
If you temporarily do not wish to trade and are preparing for a withdrawal, you need to transfer your cryptocurrency from your spot account, futures account, and copy trade account to your fiat account. Afterward, you can complete the withdrawal process and convert it into fiat currency.
