Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust (ETH), trading under the ticker ETH, attracted fresh inflows of $9,985,500 on January 28, 2026, even as Ethereum prices remain under pressure. The new capital equals about 0.43% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management of $2.34 billion, a meaningful one-day intake that suggests investors are using recent weakness as a buying opportunity.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,937.58, down roughly 25.0% over the past three months. Despite this sizable drawdown, which reflects a broader cooling in crypto risk appetite and regulatory uncertainty around digital assets, ETF investors appear to be positioning for a longer-term rebound. Short-term sentiment, however, remains fragile, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, indicating ongoing downside pressure in the near term.
The combination of negative price momentum and positive ETF flows highlights a split market: traders are cautious, while allocators are gradually averaging in, likely betting that recent declines have improved Ethereum’s risk-reward profile. If inflows of this scale persist, they could provide incremental support to secondary-market pricing of the trust’s shares and signal growing conviction that the current downturn is cyclical rather than structural.
