An exchange sub-account is a trading account at a crypto exchange that sits under a master account, with its own balances, API keys and permissions. Funds use sub-accounts in the fund's name so that trading can be delegated to a manager while withdrawals stay under separate control.
Sub-accounts let a fund give a manager trading API keys with withdrawal permissions disabled. Balances are reported per sub-account, which the administrator uses for NAV, and withdrawals are restricted to whitelisted addresses controlled by the custodian or the platform.
For an allocator, the questions are whether the sub-account is in the fund's name, who holds the withdrawal-enabled keys and how often balances are reconciled to the administrator's records.
POD opens fund-owned sub-accounts at Binance, OKX, Deribit and Bybit, plus access to Hyperliquid, Uniswap and Interactive Brokers, as part of onboarding, with trading-only permissions for the manager.
