The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, FBTC, recorded new inflows of $5,696,766 on December 30, 2025, a modest but notable vote of confidence after a volatile quarter for digital assets. The move represents roughly 0.03% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at $17.57 billion, signaling that while investors are not rushing in en masse, they are selectively adding exposure into year-end weakness.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $87,729.98. Over the past three months, Bitcoin has shed about 26.16% of its value, underscoring the pressure on spot prices even as institutional products continue to gather capital. Technically, the short-term picture remains fragile, with a 1-day signal flashing Strong Sell, suggesting momentum and trend indicators are still skewed to the downside.
For FBTC holders, the latest inflow is small relative to its overall size but may hint at a “buy-the-dip” mentality among longer-term allocators who see current levels as an opportunity rather than a capitulation point. The divergence between cautious technicals and steady ETF demand highlights an ongoing tug-of-war: traders are wary of near-term downside, while institutional-style investors appear more focused on Bitcoin’s long-term role in diversified portfolios. If inflows continue to trickle in while prices remain under pressure, the stage could be set for a sharper rebound once technical sentiment turns.
