The ProShares Short Ether Strategy ETF, SETH, absorbed a fresh wave of capital on January 22, 2026, with $1,622,164 in net inflows, according to the latest data. The move is significant relative to the fund’s scale, boosting its assets under management to $11,457,623 and representing roughly 14.16% of AUM shifting into the short Ether vehicle in a single session.
This outsized flow suggests investors are increasingly positioning for further downside or at least heightened volatility in Ether, using SETH as a convenient hedge rather than selling spot holdings outright. A double-digit percentage flow versus AUM in one day underscores the conviction—or caution—among traders seeking protection after a turbulent stretch in the crypto market.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,719.08, having shed about 23.01% over the past three months. The 1-day technical outlook leans bearish, with a prevailing signal of Sell, reinforcing the narrative that near-term momentum remains under pressure even after recent declines.
While some investors may see the pullback in Ether as a long-term accumulation opportunity, the surge into SETH highlights a growing camp bracing for continued weakness or seeking tactical short exposure as macro conditions and regulatory headlines keep digital assets on an uneasy footing.
