The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), trading under the ticker ETH, recorded fresh outflows of $9,985,500 on January 28, 2026, underscoring continued investor caution toward Ethereum-linked products. The move represents approximately 0.43% of the trust’s latest reported assets under management (AUM) of $2.34 billion, a meaningful but not destabilizing shift in capital.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,719.08, having shed about 23% over the past three months. The 1-day technical signal leans bearish, with indicators flashing a short-term Sell stance, suggesting momentum traders remain wary of further downside or, at best, a period of consolidation.
While the latest outflow is modest in percentage terms, it fits a broader pattern of defensive positioning in Ethereum exposure as volatility persists and macro uncertainty remains elevated. Some institutional and sophisticated retail investors appear to be trimming risk rather than exiting wholesale, as evidenced by the relatively small fraction of AUM affected. That dynamic may leave the trust well placed to benefit from any rebound in Ethereum sentiment, but for now, flows are signaling caution rather than conviction.
