The 2x Ether ETF, trading under the ticker ETHU, attracted fresh capital inflows of $20,065,211 on January 21, 2026, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. With assets under management now at $1,557,926,431, the latest flow represents roughly 1.29% of the fund’s AUM—an unusually sizable single-day vote of confidence for a leveraged product tied to a volatile market.
The move suggests that speculative traders and high-conviction crypto bulls are leaning into Ether exposure via leverage rather than retreating, despite a rough quarter for the token itself. Such flows can amplify both upside and downside in the short term, potentially adding to market whipsaws if volatility accelerates.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,010.80, having shed approximately 21.77% over the past three months. The short-term picture remains fragile, with the 1-day technical outlook flashing a bearish warning: Strong Sell. Against that backdrop, the fresh inflows into ETHU highlight a growing divergence between price momentum and investor positioning, as some market participants appear to be betting on a rebound rather than further declines.
