Why do Copy Trading Trading Bots and USDT Perpetual Trading support different USDT trading pairs?

The selection of underlying supported pairs is based on individual product evaluations and market liquidity analysis. We are actively working to expand our offerings, ensuring support for a wider range of USDT trading pairs across both Copy Trading Trading Bot and USDT Perpetual Trading.

I am using a UTA Master Trader account; why does the trading bot still need USDT despite having sufficient collateral in other coins?

Although UTA supports multiple coins as collateral, trading bots require USDT. This is because, upon bot creation, funds are separated from the UTA trading account and designated for the sole purpose of maintaining the bot's operation.
