The 2x Ether ETF, traded under ticker ETHU, attracted $5,468,730 in new money on December 17, 2025, even as its underlying asset remains deep in a three-month drawdown. The latest inflow represents roughly 0.38% of the fund’s $1.44 billion in assets under management (AUM), a modest but notable vote of confidence in leveraged Ether exposure at a time of elevated volatility.
The fund’s renewed intake suggests that traders are either positioning for a near-term rebound in Ether or tactically using leverage to amplify directional bets after a sharp correction. With AUM already above the billion-dollar mark, even sub-1% flows can signal shifting sentiment among more speculative market participants who favor short-term, high-beta products.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,005.02, down about 31% over the past three months, underscoring the depth of the recent pullback. Despite Monday’s inflows into the leveraged ETF, the token’s near-term picture remains fragile: the one-day technical outlook is flashing a cautious Sell signal, reflecting ongoing downside pressure and uncertain momentum.
That combination—fresh capital flowing into a leveraged Ether vehicle while the underlying asset is still under technical strain—highlights the divergence between long-term risk perceptions and short-term trading appetite.
