The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, trading under ticker EZBC, recorded net outflows of $5,064,500 on December 26, 2025, trimming roughly 1.0% from its $504.52 million in assets under management (AUM). While the withdrawal is modest in percentage terms, it underscores persistent investor caution as Bitcoin struggles to regain its footing after a sharp multi-month decline.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $88,579.64, down about 21.06% over the past three months. Despite the steep pullback, the short‑term technical picture is mixed rather than outright bearish, with a 1‑day signal of Hold. That stance suggests traders are weighing whether the recent weakness represents the late stages of a correction or a pause before further downside.
The outflow from EZBC may reflect profit‑taking from investors who bought earlier in Bitcoin’s rally, as well as risk‑management moves ahead of year‑end positioning. Still, with only about 1% of AUM redeemed in the latest session, core holders appear largely intact, hinting that institutional and long‑term investors are not yet capitulating despite heightened volatility.
