Bitwise’s Ethereum-focused futures fund saw a sharp reversal of sentiment this week as the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF, AETH, recorded outflows of $939,075 on March 19, 2026. With assets under management now at roughly $6.57 million, the latest redemption wave represents about 14.3% of the fund’s AUM, underscoring how quickly investor appetite has cooled.

The exodus comes against a weak backdrop for the underlying token. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,140.16, having dropped about 27.6% over the past three months as speculative interest in major altcoins has faded. Yet its short-term picture is less decisive, with a one-day technical reading stuck at a cautious Hold.
Flows of this magnitude suggest some investors may be locking in losses or reallocating away from leveraged Ethereum exposure after a bruising quarter. Still, the neutral technical signal hints that near-term price action could remain range-bound rather than capitulating further, leaving room for tactical traders to re-enter if volatility picks up.
