Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH) logged a fresh wave of investor interest on January 16, 2026, as the fund pulled in $15.21 million in new capital. The move, into the ETH trust, represents roughly 0.60% of its latest assets under management, which stand at about $2.52 billion—an incremental but notable vote of confidence given recent volatility in the underlying token.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,323.54, down about 15.2% over the past three months. Despite that medium-term drawdown, shorter-term momentum has shifted, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a bullish Buy signal.
The juxtaposition is striking: while Ethereum has been under pressure over the last quarter, the latest inflow into Grayscale’s mini trust suggests that some investors are treating recent weakness as a buying opportunity rather than a reason to exit. A single day’s net flow accounting for just over half a percent of AUM is not a wholesale repositioning, but it does underscore a willingness to add exposure at current levels, especially as near-term technicals hint at a potential rebound.
