  Yes, TD Ameritrade allows short selling of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies. As long as you have a margin account, you can place short sell orders for various digital assets. However, it's important to note that short selling involves borrowing assets and selling them with the expectation of buying them back at a lower price. This strategy carries risks and should be approached with caution.

  Yes, you can short sell digital assets on TD Ameritrade. It's important to note that short selling is a speculative strategy and carries risks. BYDFi, another popular digital asset exchange, also allows short selling. However, it's always recommended to do thorough research and consult with a financial advisor before engaging in short selling or any other investment strategy.
