The NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF, NEHI, drew fresh capital on January 16, 2026, with net inflows of $537,763, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. The latest flow represents about 2.22% of the fund’s $24.2 million in assets under management, a sizable single-day allocation that underscores investors’ appetite for yield-oriented Ethereum exposure.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,089.84 and has shed roughly 19.4% over the past three months, reflecting continued volatility and a cooling in speculative enthusiasm across major cryptocurrencies. Short-term momentum remains negative, with a 1-day technical signal of Sell, suggesting traders are still cautious on near-term price action.
Yet the latest inflows into NEHI indicate that some investors are looking past the drawdown in Ether, using the weakness as an entry point into strategies designed to generate income from Ethereum’s derivatives and yield opportunities. With more than 2% of the ETF’s AUM turning over in a single session, the move hints at a rotation from pure price speculation in spot crypto toward structured, income-focused products that can potentially buffer downside while maintaining upside participation if Ether stabilizes or rebounds.
