The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, EZBC, attracted a notable wave of new capital on January 06, 2026, with inflows of $13,644,750. The move lifted confidence in the fund even as the underlying crypto asset remains under pressure. With total assets under management now at $547,019,200, the latest flow represents roughly 2.49% of AUM—an unusually strong single-day vote of confidence in a market still digesting recent volatility.
Such a sizable inflow, relative to the fund’s size, suggests that investors are using the recent weakness in Bitcoin as an entry point rather than a reason to exit. For an ETF still in its growth phase, adding nearly two and a half percent of its asset base in one day underscores robust demand from both retail and institutional accounts seeking regulated exposure to the largest cryptocurrency.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $90,234.03, down about 25.49% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, short-term technicals remain non-committal, with a one-day signal of Hold. This combination of medium-term price weakness and neutral near-term momentum may be encouraging ETF investors to phase into positions gradually rather than chase prior highs.
For now, EZBC’s latest inflows highlight a familiar pattern in digital-asset markets: ETF investors often treat sharp pullbacks as strategic accumulation opportunities, even when spot prices and sentiment appear fragile.
