The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, ticker FBTC, recorded net outflows of $17.17 million on December 26, 2025, chipping away at sentiment in one of the largest U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. With assets under management standing at $17.71 billion, the latest redemptions represent roughly 0.10% of FBTC’s asset base—modest in scale, but notable given the broader cooling in crypto risk appetite.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,867.55, down about 20.6% over the past three months. The short-term technical picture remains bearish, with a 1-day signal of Strong Sell, underscoring the pressure on price momentum that may be feeding into ETF outflows.
While the flow represents only a sliver of FBTC’s overall AUM, it adds to signs that some investors are locking in gains or cutting exposure after Bitcoin’s recent slide. Persistent negative momentum signals and a sharp three-month drawdown suggest that, for now, institutional and retail buyers alike are more selective, turning ETF flows into a real-time barometer of confidence in a still-volatile Bitcoin market.
