👉 20,000 Bitcoin shorts claimed today
Short orders allow you to bet against a financial asset. By making a short order on Bitcoin, you’re selling Bitcoin with the intention of buying it back later at a cheaper price. For most people, short orders involve “borrowing” the Bitcoin for the initial sale, but you can also put it up yourself.
Today, more than 20,000 Bitcoin shorts were claimed. This means the trader who sold 20,000 of his own Bitcoins earlier this week — as part of a short order — is no longer betting that the market will go down, and has claimed his sale money.
