ProShares UltraShort Yen’s YCS drew a fresh $2.55 million in inflows on March 2, 2026, underscoring renewed conviction in the crowded short‑yen trade. The move is sizable for the leveraged ETF, lifting its assets under management to roughly $30.97 million and representing about 8.25% of AUM changing hands in a single session.
The related asset, FX:USD-JPY, is currently trading around ¥157.124 per dollar, up roughly 1.13% over the past three months as the yen’s slow grind weaker continues.
