ProShares Short Ether Strategy ETF, ticker SETH, saw outflows of $2,325,036 on February 12, 2026, marking a sharp retreat from bearish Ether positioning. With assets under management now at roughly $14.38 million, the latest redemption wave represents about 16.2% of the fund’s capital base, a meaningful single-day hit for a niche short-crypto product.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,015.10 after a bruising three months in which it has slumped about 36.27%. Despite that decline, near-term technicals still flash caution, with a 1-day signal of Strong Sell, suggesting momentum remains against Ether even as traders trim short exposure.
The sizable outflow from SETH may reflect profit-taking by investors who rode Ether’s downturn, or a tactical shift toward sidelines as volatility and macro uncertainty cloud the outlook for digital assets.
