The iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, ETHA, attracted a sizable $149.16 million in net inflows on January 16, 2026, even as sentiment around the underlying token remains fragile. The latest injection represents roughly 1.27% of the fund’s assets under management, which now stand at $11.75 billion, underscoring robust institutional interest despite recent price weakness in Ethereum.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,323.54, down about 15.16% over the past three months as investors rotated out of higher-beta crypto assets amid shifting macro and regulatory narratives. Yet, shorter-term momentum tells a different story: the one-day technical signal screens as a bullish Buy, suggesting near-term upside pressure may be building just as ETF buyers step in.
The combination of sizeable new ETF flows and a recovering technical backdrop could signal that larger, longer-horizon investors are treating ETH’s recent drawdown as a buying opportunity rather than the start of a prolonged downturn. If that thesis holds, ETHA’s latest haul may mark the early stages of renewed institutional positioning in Ethereum exposure.
