The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, trading under ticker EZBC, drew $13.64 million in net inflows on January 06, 2026, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. The latest flow represents roughly 2.45% of the fund’s $556.26 million in assets under management (AUM), a meaningful vote of confidence from investors adding exposure into weakness rather than fleeing the trade.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $89,785.67, down about 25.70% over the past three months as the broader crypto market has struggled with risk-off sentiment, regulatory uncertainty, and fading momentum after prior highs. Despite this drawdown, the short-term technical backdrop is more neutral than outright bearish, with a 1-day signal of Hold, suggesting neither strong buy nor strong sell pressure dominates the tape.
For EZBC, the combination of sizeable inflows and a sharply lower Bitcoin price underscores a familiar dynamic in crypto-oriented ETFs: long-term believers using volatility as an entry point while short-term traders remain cautious. If Bitcoin stabilizes or rebounds from current levels, these new allocations could prove well-timed; if the slide deepens, the fund’s growing AUM will be tested by investor patience and risk appetite.
