Traders Ease Off the Ether Brake: Leveraged Short ETF ETHD Suffers Sharp Outflows

Short Ether Bets Trimmed as ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF Sees Heavy Outflows

ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF, the leveraged bearish fund trading under ticker ETHD, recorded outflows of $4.95 million on February 09, 2026, as investors pulled back from downside exposure. The redemption equals about 6.23% of its $79.4 million in assets under management, a sizable single-day swing that hints at shifting conviction in Ether’s next move.

The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $1,942.12, having slumped roughly 41.21% over the past three months. Despite that steep decline, its one-day technical signal still flashes Sell, suggesting momentum remains fragile even as some traders appear less eager to hold leveraged short positions.

The outflows from ETHD may reflect profit-taking by bears after Ether’s extended slide, or a cautious shift toward the sidelines ahead of upcoming macro and regulatory catalysts. With such a large percentage of AUM moving in a single session, the ETF’s flows will be closely watched as a barometer of sentiment toward further downside in Ether prices.
