The new account type is separate from Bybit\u2019s regular, custodial and Islamic sub-accounts. It is now live for all users and becomes the default structure for traders connecting AI agents to the platform.<\/p>\n
The reason is fairly straightforward. As AI agents move deeper into trading, they also create a new class of account risk. A poorly configured bot, compromised model, vulnerable codebase or rogue agent could place unauthorized trades, trigger liquidations or move too aggressively through a user\u2019s balance. In crypto markets, where positions can be leveraged and settlement is fast, that can become expensive very quickly.<\/p>\n
Bybit\u2019s AI Sub-Account is built to contain that risk. Authorized agents operate inside a ringfenced account environment, separated from the user\u2019s primary funds and other sub-accounts. Fund movement is contained within the designated AI account, while users can set boundaries around asset holdings, transfer limits, leverage caps and permitted commands.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe recognize that as agentic trading enters the mainstream, the security baseline has to evolve,\u201d said Victor Wu, Bybit\u2019s Head of AI Agent Architecture. \u201cNo agent should have unchecked power over a trader\u2019s full portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Permission controls become part of AI trading<\/h2>\n
The design also removes login access for agents. Execution happens through APIs only, reducing the risk of account hijacking or manual access to AI-controlled funds. Parent accounts retain read-only oversight, giving users visibility into agent activity without needing to intervene constantly.<\/p>\n
That matters for traders testing new strategies. Users can assign experimental AI agents to isolated sub-accounts, monitor performance and only expand use once the behavior looks stable. It is less dramatic than letting an agent trade freely, but probably more realistic.<\/p>\n
Wu said the setup prevents AI agents from controlling an entire account or moving assets unpredictably.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBybit\u2019s AI Sub-Account creates a security perimeter that protects assets while allowing traders to benefit from AI innovation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The launch points to a broader shift. Exchanges are no longer only building tools for human traders clicking through screens. They are preparing for software agents that act continuously, react quickly and need tighter limits than humans usually set for themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
