  Short selling on Kraken for cryptocurrencies involves borrowing a digital asset from the exchange and selling it on the market. Traders do this when they believe the price of the asset will decrease. They can buy it back at a lower price and return it to the exchange, profiting from the price difference. It's a way to make money even when the market is going down. However, it's important to note that short selling carries risks and should be done with caution.
