"ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF (BITI) is built to profit when that wave crashes. It seeks daily results equal to -1x the performance of Bitcoin futures, making it one of the few accessible tools for traders seeking direct, short-side crypto exposure without a margin account."
"BITI is up roughly 25% year-to-date, a direct reflection of Bitcoin shedding more than a fifth of its value since January, the inverse relationship working exactly as designed. That bearish Bitcoin trend, however, reversed sharply this week when a surge in institutional demand, including $506 million in single-day spot Bitcoin ETF inflows on February 25, pushed Bitcoin up 7% and pulled BITI down nearly 5% over the past week."
"Prediction markets reflect a market still leaning bearish on Bitcoin's longer-term trajectory. The crowd-sourced data on Polymarket assigns a 76% probability to Bitcoin revisiting $55,000 before year-end - a level that would be deeply favorable for BITI - while only a 38.5% chance is given to Bitcoin reaching $100,000."
ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF (BITI) is designed to deliver inverse daily returns to Bitcoin futures, providing traders direct short-side crypto exposure without margin accounts. Year-to-date, BITI gained approximately 25% as Bitcoin declined over 20% since January. However, recent institutional inflows of $506 million in spot Bitcoin ETF flows on February 25 triggered a 7% Bitcoin rally, causing BITI to decline nearly 5% in one week. Prediction markets assign 76% probability to Bitcoin revisiting $55,000 before year-end, which would favor BITI, versus only 38.5% probability for $100,000. Regulatory developments like Indiana's HB 1042 supporting crypto adoption present mixed signals for the ETF's performance trajectory.
