The Defiance Leveraged Long Income Ethereum ETF, ETHI, attracted fresh capital inflows of $801,075 on January 9, 2026, a sizable move that represents roughly 14.4% of its latest reported assets under management of $5.58 million. The one-day influx underscores growing investor appetite for leveraged Ethereum exposure even as the underlying token remains under pressure.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,363.28, having shed about 17.6% over the past three months. Despite that medium-term slide, the short-term tone has shifted: the 1-day technical signal has flipped to Buy, suggesting that momentum and quantitative indicators are starting to favor a rebound scenario.
Such a sharp single-day flow, relative to ETHI’s size, hints that more speculative and income-seeking traders are attempting to time a potential recovery in Ethereum after a period of weakness. If the nascent bullish technicals in ETH-USD persist, the ETF’s leveraged structure could amplify both returns and risk for these new entrants, making ETHI a closely watched vehicle for gauging sentiment in the next leg of Ethereum’s price cycle.
