The T-Rex 2X Long Ether Daily Target ETF, ETU, drew fresh capital on January 22, 2026, logging $732,840 in net inflows. With assets under management now at $20.34 million, the latest move represents roughly 3.6% of the fund’s AUM, a meaningful vote of confidence in a highly volatile, leveraged ether product.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,931.63, down about 25.26% over the past three months. Technically, the near-term picture remains pressured, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, underscoring that fresh inflows into ETU are arriving against a backdrop of recent weakness rather than momentum strength.
This divergence—investors adding exposure to a 2x long ether ETF while the underlying asset trends lower—suggests a mix of bottom-fishing and tactical positioning. Some traders may be betting that recent declines in ether have overshot fundamentals, using leverage to amplify any potential rebound, while others could be rotating from spot holdings into more aggressive vehicles to capitalize on short-term volatility.
Still, the scale of the flow relative to AUM highlights that sentiment in leveraged crypto products remains highly responsive to day-to-day market narratives. If ether continues to struggle, ETU’s performance will be magnified on the downside; if a relief rally materializes, these inflows could quickly look prescient. For now, the data points to investors willing to take on added risk even as technical indicators urge caution.
