The 2x Ether ETF, ETHU, recorded notable outflows of $18.15 million on January 08, 2026, as investors pulled capital from the leveraged product amid renewed volatility in the crypto market. The latest redemption represents roughly 1.07% of the fund’s $1.70 billion in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful shift for a vehicle designed to amplify moves in the price of Ether.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,135.06, having shed about 26.7% over the past three months. The short-term tone remains cautious, with its 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring ongoing downside pressure and likely contributing to investors dialing back exposure to high-octane, 2x leveraged strategies.
The combination of sharp recent losses in Ether and a bearish near-term technical backdrop appears to be nudging traders toward more defensive positioning, even in instruments that benefited from strong inflows earlier in the cycle. While outflows of just over 1% of AUM do not yet signal capitulation, they highlight growing sensitivity to drawdowns in the underlying crypto asset and the amplified impact such moves can have on leveraged products like ETHU.
