Transfers & Withdrawals
private/transfer_spot_external
Submits a signed transfer of a single spot asset to a subaccount belonging to a different owner. Alongside the standard transfer fields (asset, sub_id, amount, nonce, signer, signature, expiry, max USD fee) you give the recipient’s wallet address and either an existing destination subaccount or 0 to create a new one under new_subaccount_manager; the max fee must cover both the transfer and any subaccount-creation cost. Requires a session key permitted to transfer to a different owner and returns the operation id and uuid.
