ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF, ticker ETHD, attracted fresh capital just as downside pressure on Ether deepened. On February 26, 2026, the fund recorded an estimated $8.17 million in net inflows, lifting its assets under management to about $87.54 million. The single-day move represents roughly 9.33% of AUM, underscoring brisk demand for leveraged bearish exposure.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading near $1,982.10 after a bruising three-month slide of about 31.28%. Short-term momentum remains negative, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell. Taken together, the sharp inflows into ETHD and Ether’s persistent drawdown suggest traders are positioning for continued volatility or further downside rather than an imminent rebound.
