ProShares’ ProShares Ether Strategy ETF, EETH, attracted a fresh wave of capital on January 09, 2026, with inflows of $1,163,238. The move represents roughly 1.14% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management (AUM) of $102.36 million, signaling a measured but notable vote of confidence in ether-linked products after a volatile stretch for the underlying token.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,111.12. Despite this latest uptick in ETF demand, ether is down about 25.5% over the past three months, underscoring the depth of the recent drawdown in major cryptocurrencies. Yet, short-term trading indicators have brightened: the one-day technical signal for ETH screens as a Buy, suggesting that near-term momentum traders may be positioning for a rebound.
The scale of the inflow, while not transformative relative to total AUM, is meaningful in the current context of risk recalibration across digital assets. A single-day addition of more than 1% of the fund’s size hints that institutional and sophisticated retail investors are selectively re-entering ether exposure via regulated futures-based structures rather than holding the token outright. This may reflect both lingering caution over spot-market volatility and a preference for the perceived safeguards of the ETF wrapper.
With ether still well below recent highs but technicals turning more constructive, flows into EETH will be closely watched as a barometer of how quickly confidence is returning to the broader crypto complex.
