The T-Rex 2X Long Ether Daily Target ETF, ETU, recorded net outflows of $871,278 on December 24, 2025, a notable pullback for a leveraged crypto product with approximately $20.8 million in assets under management (AUM). The latest redemption wave represents about 4.18% of the fund’s AUM, signaling that a meaningful slice of investors is reassessing their appetite for amplified Ether exposure amid a volatile year-end backdrop.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,979.20, having shed roughly 32.16% over the past three months. The short-term tone remains fragile, with a 1-day technical read flashing a Sell signal. That combination of sustained medium-term weakness and bearish near-term momentum helps explain why some traders may be stepping back from leveraged long products, locking in losses or cutting risk as Ether struggles to reclaim higher ground.
While leveraged ETFs like ETU are designed for tactical, short-horizon bets rather than long-term holding, a single session’s outflow of more than 4% of AUM underscores how quickly positioning can turn when sentiment sours. If Ether’s downside streak persists, more volatility in flows is likely as speculators either capitulate or attempt to time a rebound.
