    The Unified Trading Account (UTA) streamlines your trading with access to Spot, Spot Margin, Leveraged Tokens, USDT Perpetual, USDC Perpetual and Futures, and USDC Options.  It allows traders to trade seamlessly without switching accounts. The supported margin assets in UTA can be collateralized, and a margin balance calculated in USD will be calculated. You can use the available margin balance to place orders across UTA's supported trading products, eliminating the need to hold specific settlement coins. It's a unified and efficient way to engage in multi-currency trading.

     

    In this article, we will guide you through the Unified Trading Account Assets page.
