Investors Chase Yield in Ether Slump as NEHI Draws Near-10% of AUM in a Single Day

Investors Chase Yield in Ether Slump as NEHI Draws Near-10% of AUM in a Single Day

NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF saw a sharp influx of fresh capital this week, as the NEOS Ethereum High Income ETF’s NEHI pulled in $3.28 million in net inflows on February 25, 2026. The move lifted its assets under management to roughly $32.88 million, meaning nearly 10% of the fund’s capital base turned over in a single session.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $1,949.36, down about 38.1% over the past three months. Despite that steep retreat and a 1-day technical rating flashing Sell, income-focused investors appear willing to buy into Ethereum’s volatility through an options-based ETF wrapper.

Such sizable inflows suggest investors may be treating the recent crypto drawdown as an opportunity to lock in higher option premiums while ETH prices remain depressed. If the underlying token stabilizes, NEHI’s covered-call strategy could benefit from both elevated implied volatility and a recovery in spot prices, though downside risks remain significant.

The nearly double-digit percentage flow relative to AUM also underscores how quickly niche crypto-linked income products can scale when sentiment swings. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
