The Bitwise Ethereum ETF, ETHW, logged a solid inflow of $7,974,120 on January 15, 2026, even as Ethereum prices remain under pressure. The move lifts the fund’s assets under management to $441,439,440, with the latest subscription wave accounting for roughly 1.8% of total AUM — a meaningful vote of confidence in the product amid a choppy digital-asset backdrop.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,089.84, down about 19.4% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains weak, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring the defensive tone that has gripped the broader crypto market since the autumn rally faded.
Against that backdrop, the fresh inflows into ETHW suggest that some institutional and sophisticated retail investors may be using the pullback to build exposure through regulated vehicles rather than trading the token directly. The contrast between negative price momentum and positive ETF flows highlights a familiar dynamic in crypto cycles: long-horizon capital often accumulates when short-term traders are backing away.
