The 2x Ether ETF, ticker ETHU, saw investors pull $5.95 million in capital on February 27, 2026, marking a notable single-day outflow. With assets under management at $787.84 million, the latest redemption wave represents roughly 0.76% of the fund’s AUM, signaling waning risk appetite toward leveraged exposure to Ethereum.
The retreat comes as the related asset, ETH-USD, trades at $1,949.36 after a bruising three months in which it shed about 38.10% of its value. Short-term sentiment remains fragile, underscored by a one-day technical rating of Sell, which may be prompting traders to de-risk leveraged positions and favor more defensive strategies.
