After successfully purchasing crypto (such as USDT), the assets will be credited to your Funding account. To trade on spot, futures, or other markets, you'll need to transfer the assets to your Trading account first. Internal transfers between OKX accounts are free of charge and are credited instantly.
Note: if you selected Trading account as the Deposit account when making a deposit, assets deposited on-chain will be automatically transferred to your Trading account. To deposit assets into your Funding account, go to the Deposit page, select the crypto and network, then change the Deposit account to Funding account.

Notes
Why am I unable to transfer funds?
If you're unable to transfer funds, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
There are no limits on internal transfers between funding and trading accounts, or between main and sub-accounts. If your assets are frozen, please unfreeze them before attempting to transfer.
When there are open positions in your trading account, the assets tied up in those positions can't be transferred out until the positions are closed. If your account earnings exceed the amount held by open positions, the principal can be transferred normally — but the earnings portion can only be transferred after the positions are closed.
Details follow the official OKX help article; this page is a learning checklist, not an official mirror.
