The NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF, NEHI, attracted fresh capital even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. On December 30, 2025, the fund recorded an estimated $1,449,879 in net inflows, a sizable move for a vehicle with roughly $10,254,762 in assets under management (AUM). The single-day haul represents about 14.1% of NEHI’s total AUM, signaling renewed investor appetite for yield-focused Ethereum exposure despite heightened volatility in the crypto market.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,046.80 after a bruising quarter, with its price down roughly 33.7% over the last three months. Yet, in a shorter-term twist that may be emboldening income-seeking buyers of NEHI, the one-day technical outlook for ETH screens as a Buy. That divergence—weak medium-term performance but constructive near-term signals—helps explain why investors might be using covered-call and income-oriented structures like NEHI to stay in the Ethereum trade while attempting to cushion downside with option premiums.
Such a large single-session inflow, relative to AUM, suggests that allocators are leaning into structured crypto products rather than exiting the asset class altogether, positioning NEHI as a vehicle for those who believe Ethereum’s selloff has gone too far but still want a buffer against further drawdowns. If ETH stabilizes or stages a recovery, the strategy could benefit from both capital appreciation and ongoing income generation; if the slide continues, the income overlay may help soften the blow compared with direct spot exposure.
