The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, recorded a sharp single-day outflow of $54.9 million on January 30, 2026, as investors reassessed their exposure to the second-largest cryptocurrency. The redemption represents roughly 0.58% of the fund’s $9.48 billion in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful but not destabilizing shift for the relatively young vehicle.
The move underscores mounting caution around Ethereum-linked products after a bruising quarter for the underlying token. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,644.68, having shed about 30.28% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains weak, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, a cue that short-term traders are still leaning defensive.
While the latest outflow is modest relative to ETHA’s overall size, it marks a shift in sentiment after a period in which spot Ethereum ETFs were seen as a straightforward conduit for institutional exposure. The combination of sustained price pressure on ETH-USD and negative near-term technicals appears to be prompting some holders to lock in remaining gains or cut losses, even as long-term narratives around network upgrades and broader crypto adoption persist.
