Short Ether Bet Loses Steam as ProShares ETHD Faces Million-Dollar Outflow

Short Ether ETF Sees Outflow as Traders Reassess Bearish Bets

ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF ETHD recorded a $1.77 million outflow on March 19, 2026, paring its assets under management to about $95.1 million. The redemption, equivalent to roughly 1.86% of AUM, suggests some investors are locking in gains or trimming downside hedges after a volatile stretch in Ether prices.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,187.78 after shedding more than 27% over the past three months. Despite the sharp drawdown, the prevailing one-day technical stance remains a cautious Hold, indicating neither a clear bullish reversal nor a renewed breakdown.

Outflows from ETHD, which profits when Ether falls, may hint that some traders see limited near-term downside after the recent correction. At the same time, the modest size of the move versus total assets shows that conviction in hedging and speculative short exposure to Ether remains intact rather than collapsing.
