Short Ether Trade Cools: Investors Pull Millions from ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF

Short Ether Bets Lose Steam as ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF Sees Notable Outflow

ProShares’ ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF, ticker ETHD, recorded a sizable outflow of $3.96 million on April 21, 2026, trimming its assets under management to about $74.82 million. The redemption, equal to roughly 5.29% of AUM, signals a meaningful retreat by investors from leveraged short exposure to Ether even as the underlying token remains volatile.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,336.30 after shedding more than 21% over the past three months, underscoring how bearish positioning has recently been rewarded. Yet the token’s 1-day technical profile has flipped to a Buy signal, hinting at short-term momentum that may be prompting traders to lock in profits and pare back leveraged inverse Ether exposure via ETHD.

The combination of a notable outflow from a short Ether vehicle and a fresh short-term buy signal on the underlying suggests sentiment could be shifting from aggressive downside bets toward a more balanced stance.
