The NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF, NEHI, drew a fresh wave of investor interest on January 13, 2026, booking $511,850 in net inflows. The move lifted its assets under management to $17.9 million, with the latest flow representing roughly 2.86% of the fund’s AUM—a meaningful single-day vote of confidence for a niche income-focused crypto strategy.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,326.80. Over the past three months, ether has shed about 18.81% of its value, underscoring how far sentiment has cooled since recent highs. Yet on a near-term basis, technicals are turning more constructive, with a 1-day signal flashing Buy, suggesting traders are positioning for at least a tactical rebound.
Against that backdrop, NEHI’s renewed inflows hint that investors may be trying to monetize Ethereum’s volatility through an options-based high-income wrapper rather than simply betting on spot price appreciation. With ether still under pressure on a three-month horizon but short-term indicators improving, the fund’s latest capital injection suggests risk-tolerant investors are leaning into yield strategies while they wait for clearer direction in the broader crypto market.
