Inverse ETFs enable one to place a bearish bet, effectively going “short” without having to borrow shares, as you would with stocks.

SEC Takes Aim at Naked Short Selling

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced new and stringent rules against the practice of “naked short selling”, a stripped-down version of short selling that some would say is an issue to most investors on Wall Street.
