Cboe ended their bitcoin futures. As such there’s no way to bet on a bitcoin collapse that I know of, in a less risky options-like way. Shorts (if they exist) would be extremely risky, as you owe more if bitcoin rises.

CME Group still offers Bitcoin futures, along with options: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/bitcoin-futures.html https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/bitcoin-futures.html

  Oh thanks. Where can you trade those? Couldn’t find them on questrade.

    The minimum for CME is 5 bitcoins ($200k). So I guess they are for the big dudes?

CME has fairly liquid futures https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/crypto-markets/futures/average-daily-volume-of-cme-bitcoin-futures-monthly https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/crypto-markets/futures/a...

There's many bitcoin derivative exchanges which allow you to short, in addition to the CME's contract. Bitmex, Huobi, etc.
