ProShares UltraShort Ether ETF, the leveraged bearish product trading as ETHD, recorded sharp outflows of $24.96 million on February 06, 2026, as traders pulled capital from the fund. The redemption equates to roughly 23.5% of its $106.4 million in assets under management, marking one of the most significant single-day contractions in the ETF’s capital base.
The move suggests investors may be reducing leveraged downside exposure to Ether after a bruising quarter, even as price momentum remains weak. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $2,039.47, down about 42.9% over the past three months, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Sell.
Such a sizable withdrawal from ETHD could reflect profit-taking by short-side traders or a tactical shift toward less leveraged or more neutral strategies as volatility persists. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
