Does anyone know if there's a vehicle to short Monero?



You can do it on an exchange called Poloniex. Just remember, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Good luck!


Margin trading is risky in a regulated market and doubly so in the cryptocurrency marketplace. I would advise against it, but as another sibling comment mentions, Poloniex would be your best bet.

Be careful though, as Bitfinex, another popular margin trading website, was hacked and lost $60 mm a few months ago. Polo has also been hacked before, although they incurred a much smaller loss due to their hack.

When you margin trade through your brokerage, you don't have to worry about the firm shutting down and/or the US government not repaying your money. With these websites, there's a very real chance it'll disappear overnight.
