ETF’s aren’t derivatives… and when shorted, no new units are created, it doesn’t work the same way as CFD’s, which do act the way described above. CDO’s caused a problem because nobody knew what the underlying individual debts were so they couldn’t be unwound quickly when a counterparty went bust, whereas an ETF with only one holding (ie BTC) is literally the most simple simple thing to unwind, and unlike a collection of different debts, is entirely fungible
