Funding

A Funding wallet is primarily used for margin trading and futures contracts. It serves as a depository for funds that act as collateral for these leveraged trading positions.

Unlike a spot wallet, where cryptocurrencies are held for immediate buying, selling, or storing, the funding wallet holds assets earmarked for specific trading activities. Users transfer funds from their spot wallet to the funding wallet to participate in margin trading or futures contracts.

Key Points:

1. Dedicated for margin trading and futures contracts
2. Holds funds as collateral for leveraged positions
3. Interconnected with the spot wallet can transfer funds to another wallet vice versa with nominal fees (if applicable)
4. Offers increased trading potential but carries higher risks
5. Requires a clear understanding of margin trading and futures concepts
