The 2x Ether ETF, ETHU, attracted fresh capital on December 24, 2025, with inflows of $2,742,365. While modest against its sizeable asset base, the move is notable given the current volatility in the underlying crypto market. The ETF now manages $1,597,162,266 in assets under management (AUM), meaning the latest inflow represents about 0.17% of its total AUM.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,939.23, having shed roughly 28.1% over the past three months. Short-term sentiment appears weak, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell. The combination of a sharply lower three-month performance and bearish near-term signals typically points to caution among traders, yet the inflows into ETHU suggest that some investors are positioning for a rebound or leaning into volatility via leverage.
Given that ETHU offers 2x exposure to Ether’s daily moves, recent inflows may reflect speculative buying from traders seeking to capitalize on a potential reversal after an extended drawdown, or from those employing tactical strategies around year-end liquidity and tax positioning. However, the relatively small flow as a share of AUM indicates that, for now, investors are adjusting rather than overhauling their exposure.
