The DeFi sector has been caught in the throes of a relentless selloff over the past two months, with bulls unable to gain any traction as many of the tokens sink against USD and Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s intense strength has made this selloff quite surprising, as many investors previously speculated that strength amongst the major digital assets would lead traders to allocate more capital to “high beta” assets – like those residing in the DeFi market. Thus far, this hasn’t been the case, and even major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum have been sinking in value against Bitcoin. This has led one legendary crypto trader to note that shorting major DeFi altcoins could be the best way to hedge against any potential BTC downside in the near-term. 📈 Trending … DeFi Tokens • Oracle Tokens • Biggest Gainers • Stablecoins More news ⏬Top fund manager thinks Ethereum DeFi shorts make little sense hereIt’s been a brutal past two months for the DeFi market.
