The 2x Ether ETF, trading under the ticker ETHU, drew fresh capital inflows of $1,180,902 on January 13, 2026, even as its underlying asset has been under pressure. The leveraged fund now manages $1.70 billion in assets under management (AUM), with the latest flow representing roughly 0.07% of its total AUM.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,326.80, having shed about 18.8% over the past three months. Yet, near-term technicals suggest a more constructive tone, with a 1-day signal flashing Buy. That mix of medium-term weakness and short-term optimism appears to be enticing traders back into leveraged exposure through ETHU.
The fresh inflows, though modest relative to overall AUM, hint that speculative investors are positioning for a rebound in ether prices or at least a short-term bounce that leveraged products can amplify. Such flows often come from traders willing to stomach higher volatility in pursuit of outsized returns, particularly when technical indicators turn favorable while prices remain well below recent peaks.
