The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, ticker EZBC, drew $13.64 million in net inflows on January 6, 2026, even as its underlying asset struggles through a sharp pullback. The latest flow represents roughly 2.50% of the fund’s $545.4 million in assets under management (AUM), a sizable single-day allocation shift that underscores lingering investor appetite for regulated Bitcoin exposure.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $90,615.32, down about 18.38% over the past three months. Technically, the short-term picture remains fragile, with a 1-day signal flashing Sell, suggesting momentum traders are still cautious despite the ETF inflows.
The contrast between the negative three-month performance of spot Bitcoin and the fresh capital moving into EZBC hints at a more strategic, long-horizon positioning by investors. Some market participants appear to be treating the recent correction as an opportunity to accumulate exposure through a regulated vehicle rather than trading the underlying coin directly, a pattern that has become more pronounced as institutional adoption has deepened.
With flows into EZBC rising against a backdrop of weak short-term technicals for Bitcoin, the market is effectively staging a quiet vote of confidence that volatility may ultimately work in favor of patient buyers.
