- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoA short ETF, or exchange-traded fund, is a financial product that allows investors to profit from the decline in the price of Bitcoin. It works by borrowing Bitcoin from other investors, selling it at the current market price, and then buying it back at a lower price to return to the lender. The difference between the selling price and the buying price is the profit. Short ETFs provide a way for investors to hedge against the volatility of Bitcoin and make money even when the price is going down.
- Dec 16, 2021 · 3 years agoIn simple terms, a short ETF is like betting against the price of Bitcoin. When you buy a short ETF, you are essentially selling Bitcoin that you don't own with the expectation that the price will go down. If the price does go down, you can buy back the Bitcoin at a lower price and make a profit. However, if the price goes up, you will incur losses. Short ETFs are popular among traders who want to take advantage of price movements in both directions.
