  Naked short selling is a controversial practice in the cryptocurrency industry. To prevent it, regulators have implemented various measures. For example, some countries require cryptocurrency exchanges to enforce strict Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, which help ensure that traders have sufficient funds to cover their positions. Additionally, exchanges may impose limits on margin trading to prevent excessive leverage and potential naked short selling. These measures aim to promote transparency and protect investors from market manipulation.
