Leverage on the Line: ProShares’ Ether ETF Attracts Fresh Cash Despite Price Slump

ProShares Ultra Ether ETF, ETHT, drew $3,704,925 of net inflows on February 27, 2026, even as Ether prices remain under pressure. The move lifts the fund’s assets under management to $203.6 million, with the latest flow equal to roughly 1.82% of AUM, signaling renewed risk appetite for leveraged exposure to the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $1,949.36 after a bruising three-month slide of about 38.10%, underscoring the volatility underpinning ETHT’s strategy. Short-term price action remains fragile, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, suggesting traders are still cautious despite fresh inflows.

That divergence—money flowing into ETHT while Ether’s technicals deteriorate—highlights how some investors may be using the ETF to position for a potential rebound, or to tactically trade intraday swings. With leveraged products amplifying both gains and losses, the 1.82% AUM swing in a single day underscores how quickly sentiment can pivot around Ether, particularly as macro uncertainty and regulatory headlines keep digital-asset markets on edge.
