Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 2026: As the Middle East continues to establish itself as a global hub for technological innovation, Bybit has announced the launch of the AI Subaccount, designed to provide an isolated and secure trading environment for AI-powered systems. The new feature bridges the gap between AI’s enterprise security standards and day-to-day digital asset management, supporting the region’s ambitious AI trends Synthetic and Web 3.0.
With the acceleration of adoption of advanced technologies in the region, driven by initiatives such as the UAE’s National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence and Saudi Vision 2030, traders and developers are increasingly looking for sophisticated tools to help them navigate the digital asset markets. However, employing AI agents in physical trading environments has historically posed security challenges, including the risk of inadvertent access to funds or uncontrolled execution of strategies.
Bybit’s AI sub-accounts address these challenges head-on, setting a new standard for operational transparency and risk management in AI proxy-based trading.
Derek Day, Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Bybit, said: “The MENA region is not only participating in the AI revolution, it is shaping it. We are therefore witnessing unprecedented demand from local developers, institutional partners, and individual traders who are applying for tools that allow them to safely operate automated strategies. AI sub-accounts provide this level of protection, as a secure environment that enables users to innovate with confidence, while ensuring that their core assets remain fully protected.”
Enable innovation with reliable levels of security:
The AI sub-accounts act as an independent trading environment and are dedicated to the operation of AI agents. It provides clear security boundaries separating user-managed wallets from automated executions, allowing you to leverage the power of algorithmic strategies without putting your main account funds at risk.
Designed to meet the needs of the region’s developed market, key features include:
- Siolated execution and full containment of funds: All AI-driven activities are confined within the dedicated sub-account, with no access to the main account or any other sub-accounts, ensuring complete asset protection.
- Advanced user-defined risk management controls: Traders can operate their trading robots with confidence by setting strict criteria including leverage limits, maximum asset allocation, and withdrawal restrictions.
- API-Only access: To reduce the risk of unauthorized manual intervention, AI sub-accounts operate exclusively through an API-based access layer.
- Real-time performance monitoring: Users retain full control through read-only monitoring capabilities, allowing them to monitor the performance of AI agents in real-time without the need for any manual intervention.
By launching AI sub-accounts, Bybit provides the essential infrastructure needed for the safe expansion of automated trading. This launch underscores the platform’s commitment to providing advanced and secure local solutions that support the growing digital asset innovation community in the MENA region.
Users can start creating an AI sub-account today to run and test their own automated trading agents in a secure environment.
