The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, ticker EZBC, recorded outflows of $10.36 million on January 21, 2026, as investors continued to reassess their exposure to the volatile cryptocurrency market. The redemption represents roughly 1.96% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at $529.43 million, a notable single-day swing for a spot Bitcoin vehicle.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $82,222, having shed about 19.5% over the past three months. Short-term momentum remains negative, with its 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, underscoring the recent shift from euphoria to caution after last year’s highs.
While EZBC still commands a solid asset base, the latest outflows suggest that some investors are taking profits or cutting risk as Bitcoin loses altitude and technical indicators deteriorate. If the downward trend in BTC persists, more tactical reallocations from crypto-focused ETFs could follow, putting pressure on issuers that benefited from the prior wave of inflows.
