Ethereum Drops 51% From January High, Inverse ETFs Surge 247%

Market data indicates that Ethereum (ETH) has experienced a significant decline, dropping nearly 51% from its January high. This substantial decrease has positioned shorting ETH as a potential trading hotspot for 2025. The ProShares 2x Ethereum Inverse ETF (ETHD), listed on the NYSE, has seen a remarkable 247% increase year-to-date, making it the best-performing ETF in the current U.S. market. Similarly, the T-REX 2X Inverse Ethereum ETF has achieved a return of approximately 220% since the beginning of the year.

Analysts suggest that 2025 may present challenges for ETH bulls, as leveraged shorts are driving the price down. This trend highlights the growing interest in inverse ETFs as a means to capitalize on the downward movement of ETH. The performance of these inverse ETFs underscores the potential for shorting ETH to become a prominent trading strategy in the coming year.
