The Franklin Ethereum ETF, EZET, started 2026 on the back foot, logging outflows of $2,249,200 on January 2, 2026. The redemption represents roughly 3.9% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at $57,354,600, signaling a meaningful bout of investor caution rather than a marginal adjustment.
The move comes against a challenging backdrop for the underlying asset, Ethereum. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading at $3,142.82, having shed about 31.4% over the past three months. Despite that steep decline, its 1-day technical signal sits at a cautious Hold, suggesting chart-based indicators do not yet justify a decisive bullish or bearish call.
For ETF investors, the latest outflows underscore how rapidly sentiment can swing in crypto-linked products: a relatively modest drawdown at the fund level masks a much more severe price reset in ETH itself. Some investors appear to be de-risking after a bruising quarter, while others may be waiting on the sidelines for clearer technical confirmation before re-entering exposure via vehicles like EZET.
