Is there any way to "short" bitcoin? I don't really trust any of the fly-by-night cryptocurrency exchanges, but is there a real derivatives market somewhere?



My broker has allowed trading their futures since 2017: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=25379


See if someone will loan you Bitcoin, paid back in Bitcoin. Then you sell the Bitcoin, wait for the price to go down, and buy some to pay back the loan.


Short on Coinbase Pro, or Kraken


You can short on pro?


My bad, you can go margin but not short.

Kraken can short though.


Is Kraken SEC regulated?


Assume so, based in US, available for 48 states.
