The Franklin Ethereum ETF, EZET, registered a significant outflow of $2,249,200 on January 2, 2026, trimming its assets under management to $60,361,050. The latest redemption represents roughly 3.7% of the fund’s AUM, a sizable one-day shift that underscores investors’ growing caution toward Ether-linked products after a bruising quarter for the underlying cryptocurrency.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,222.36, having shed about 32.1% over the past three months. Despite that steep drawdown, short-term trading signals remain mixed, with the 1-day technical stance sitting at Hold, suggesting neither clear momentum for a rebound nor confirmation of further downside in the immediate term.
The confluence of a sharp three-month price decline and a neutral technical read appears to be pushing some ETF investors to the sidelines, crystallizing losses rather than betting on a quick recovery. Yet the fact that the latest outflow, while meaningful, is still under 5% of total AUM indicates that a core base of holders is staying put, potentially reflecting longer-term conviction in Ethereum’s network fundamentals despite near-term volatility.
