Bitmex added perpetual swaps on Ethereum. In English: they created a way to short Ethereum with high leverage.

Another way to look at it:

What really caused Ethereum price to be so high?

No one could short it, as you can with other most other publicly traded assets that have scaled.

I don’t know the answer, but it’s a reasonable question to ask
