The 2x Ether ETF, ticker ETHU, attracted a sizable $16.32 million in new capital on January 30, 2026, signaling renewed speculative interest in leveraged Ethereum exposure despite a difficult quarter for the underlying token. The latest inflow represents roughly 1.20% of the fund’s assets under management, which now stand at about $1.37 billion.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,428.98, down roughly 30.63% over the past three months as risk appetite has faded across digital assets. The short-term picture remains fragile, with the one-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring the tension between traders’ appetite for leverage and a still-bearish technical backdrop.
That contrast is central to the latest move in ETHU: while Ethereum’s slide has shaken longer-term holders, the fresh inflows suggest traders are looking to position for a potential rebound or capitalize on heightened volatility through a 2x vehicle. With nearly 1.2% of the ETF’s AUM swinging in on a single day, the flows highlight how leveraged crypto products are increasingly used as tactical tools rather than long-term holdings.
