  Short selling on Webull for cryptocurrencies involves borrowing a digital asset, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, from a broker and selling it on the market with the expectation that its price will decrease. If the price does indeed drop, the short seller can buy back the asset at a lower price and return it to the broker, pocketing the difference as profit. It's important to note that short selling can be risky, as there is no limit to how much the price of a cryptocurrency can increase.
