The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, EZBC, attracted $8.09 million in net inflows on December 10, 2025, even as its underlying asset continues to struggle. The latest flow represents about 1.61% of the fund’s $502.25 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful single-day vote of confidence for a vehicle tied to one of the market’s most volatile trades.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $88,041.06, having shed roughly 24.85% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains negative, with a 1-day technical signal of Strong Sell, underscoring persistent bearish pressure on spot prices even as ETF investors tiptoe back in.
The juxtaposition of fresh inflows into EZBC against a backdrop of a three-month slide in bitcoin suggests a classic “buy-the-dip” posture among some institutional and retail allocators. With more than 1.6% of AUM moving in a single day, the flows hint at investors using the ETF wrapper as a regulated gateway to accumulate exposure at lower levels, wagering that the recent correction could set the stage for a longer-term rebound.
Still, the technical backdrop for BTC remains fragile, and any sustained downside could test the conviction of these new inflows. For now, EZBC’s ability to attract capital amid a downtrend underscores the enduring appeal—and risk tolerance—around bitcoin-linked products in traditional finance channels.
