# Going Short (betting the price will fall)

**Example: You expect BTC to drop from $65,000 to $60,000 after negative macroeconomic news.**

* You deposit $1,000 as collateral and use 3x leverage.
* Danogo borrows BTC on your behalf, swaps it into stablecoins, and locks those as collateral.
* If BTC falls, you buy it back cheaper to repay the loan, keeping the difference as profit.
* Use Case: Hedge against portfolio downside or profit from bearish market trends.
