The NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF, ticker NEHI, attracted fresh capital on January 16, 2026, with net inflows of $537,763. The move lifted the fund’s assets under management to $24,199,335, meaning the latest subscriptions accounted for roughly 2.22% of NEHI’s total AUM—an unusually punchy single-day addition for a niche crypto-income strategy.
NEHI’s mandate is to generate yield from Ethereum-linked strategies, so the renewed interest comes at a time when sentiment toward the underlying token remains fragile. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,952, down about 22.7% over the past three months, highlighting the depth of the recent pullback in major cryptocurrencies. Technically, near-term momentum remains bearish, with the one-day signal flashing Strong Sell.
The contrast between NEHI’s inflows and Ethereum’s weak price and technical profile suggests that some investors are leaning into the drawdown, seeking to lock in higher yield potential from volatility and option premiums even as spot prices struggle. Others may be using the ETF structure as a more risk-managed way to maintain exposure to Ethereum’s long-term narrative while offloading the operational complexity of holding the token directly.
Still, with Ethereum mired in a short-term downtrend and technical indicators pointing to continued pressure, NEHI’s performance will hinge on whether its income-focused approach can offset further price weakness.
