The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, recorded net outflows of $44.49 million on January 26, 2026, underscoring renewed investor caution toward Ethereum-linked products. The redemption represents roughly 0.44% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at about $10.10 billion—sizeable enough to signal meaningful repositioning, but far from a wholesale exodus.
The move comes against a challenging backdrop for the underlying asset. The related cryptocurrency, ETH-USD, is trading around $3,011.22 after a bruising three months in which it has declined approximately 26.16%. Short-term technicals remain weak, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, reinforcing the sense that momentum traders are still on the defensive.
While the recent outflow is modest relative to ETHA’s overall scale, it reflects mounting unease over Ethereum’s near-term trajectory following its sharp pullback. Some institutional and sophisticated retail holders appear to be trimming risk after a prolonged downswing, using the ETF as a liquid proxy for Ethereum exposure. Still, the fact that outflows accounted for less than half a percent of AUM suggests that core conviction in the longer-term Ethereum story remains intact among many investors, even as tactical flows turn negative.
