The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, recorded substantial outflows on January 9, 2026, with investors pulling $107.65 million from the fund. The redemption wave, while modest relative to its scale, still represents 0.98% of ETHA’s latest assets under management, which stand at approximately $10.96 billion.
The move underscores a cautious tone toward Ethereum-linked products as the underlying asset continues to lag recent crypto market highs. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,092.30, having dropped about 18.18% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, signaling that chart-based traders are still skeptical of an imminent rebound.
While the single-session outflow is far from an existential threat to ETHA, it does highlight how sensitive ETF investors have become to Ethereum’s price drawdowns and broader risk-off sentiment in digital assets. If the recent negative trend in ETH persists, more investors may opt to trim exposure through liquid, exchange-traded vehicles rather than holding the coin directly.
