The 2x Ether ETF, ticker ETHU, attracted $16.32 million in new capital on January 30, 2026, even as underlying crypto markets remain under pressure. The leveraged vehicle now oversees roughly $1.37 billion in assets under management (AUM), with the latest flow representing about 1.20% of its total size—a notable single-day vote of confidence for a high-octane product tied to a struggling token.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,288.39, down about 34.5% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains fragile, with a 1-day technical stance flashing Sell, underscoring the risk traders are assuming by piling into a 2x exposure vehicle at this stage of the cycle.
Still, the fresh inflows into ETHU suggest that a segment of investors is positioning for a potential rebound in Ether, using leverage to amplify any upside after a deep drawdown. With more than a third of value erased in a quarter, contrarians may see current levels as an attractive entry point—though the negative short-term signal warns that volatility could intensify before any sustained recovery. As ever with leveraged crypto ETFs, timing and risk management will be critical.
