Traders Double Down on Ether: Leveraged ETU ETF Draws Nearly 8% of Its AUM in a Single Day

Traders Double Down on Ether: Leveraged ETU ETF Draws Nearly 8% of Its AUM in a Single Day

T-Rex 2X Long Ether Daily Target ETF saw a fresh jolt of speculative cash on February 13, 2026, as the leveraged fund pulled in $856,432 of new money despite deep losses in its underlying asset. The inflow to the ETU product lifted its assets under management to $10.81 million, with the latest move representing roughly 7.9% of total AUM.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $1,974.88 after a bruising three months in which it has shed about 35.2% of its value. Short-term momentum remains negative, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, underscoring the contrarian nature of the latest ETF inflows.

Such a sizable allocation into a 2x leveraged Ether vehicle at this point in the drawdown suggests that some investors are positioning for a sharp rebound rather than capitulating. However, given the amplified daily exposure and deteriorating technical backdrop, ETU’s rising AUM may also reflect elevated risk appetite from traders willing to stomach significant volatility.

The divergence between bearish technicals on Ether and fresh demand for leverage highlights the broader tension in crypto markets between short-term caution and long-term conviction. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
