Ansem (
@blknoiz06) explains how traders can hedge major crypto positions with shorts instead of selling their on-chain bags:
"I have considered putting on hedges on majors, hedges meaning shorts to guard against the downside."
"I really do not want to sell any on chain positions."
"Being early to on chain right now, adding to on chain, and being willing to round trip some of your on chain positions is just going to pay out so much during the bull market if you are sized into them properly."
"To guard against that scenario where you may be wrong there or maybe in a downtrend for some time while higher lows are printed, you could hedge short majors."
"I do not recommend most people watching this to do that, but if you are a trader, one tool that you can use in your tool set is being short majors while being long the mid cap assets."
"If you are holding Bitcoin, Solana, or ETH in spot, you do not necessarily need to sell your spot to be short on majors or hedge near range highs."
"You can hedge with a very clear invalidation."
