  Cryptocurrency exchanges take several measures to prevent naked shorting. One common measure is implementing strict margin requirements, which ensure that traders have enough collateral to cover their short positions. Additionally, exchanges may use real-time monitoring systems to detect and prevent naked shorting activities. These systems analyze trading patterns and identify suspicious activities that may indicate naked shorting. It is important for exchanges to prevent naked shorting because it can lead to market manipulation and destabilize the cryptocurrency market.
