The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, EZBC, saw outflows of $5,064,500 on December 26, 2025, a move that trimmed roughly 1.00% from its $506.29 million in assets under management. While the withdrawal is modest in proportional terms, it underscores mounting caution among investors as bitcoin’s latest downturn tests conviction in spot crypto funds.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,865.50, having shed about 23.18% over the past three months. Despite that sizable slide, near-term signals remain noncommittal, with the 1-day technical stance flashing a cautious Hold. This combination of medium-term weakness and short-term indecision appears to be prompting some investors to lock in profits or cut risk rather than add on the dip.
Still, a 1% flow relative to AUM suggests rotation rather than a rush for the exits. For long-term holders, the recent outflows may reflect tactical repositioning as traders reassess bitcoin’s trajectory after a strong prior run-up, rather than a fundamental loss of faith in the asset class or the ETF wrapper.
