on the deriv platform they have a system that allows traders to exchange money (essentially moving funds from one to another account)

which is a pretty great idea!
(but I do have some doubts about the legal workings, as this walks a very thin path among the laundry path.)

well the benefit is clear, if you have issues getting transfers to work, other traders can “help you out”
it’s just like trading Forex, you decide the “exchange rate” when making your Bid or Ask, which will in terms define your fee/spread.
