The Franklin Ethereum ETF, ticker EZET, attracted $2.38 million in new money on January 8, 2026, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. The single-day inflow represents roughly 3.8% of the fund’s latest assets under management, which stand at about $62.26 million — a sizeable vote of confidence in an otherwise fragile market backdrop.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $3,092.30, having shed about 18.2% over the past three months as traders rotated out of higher-risk tokens and into more defensive positions. Short-term momentum remains bearish, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Sell, underscoring continued caution among technically driven market participants.
Yet the latest inflow into EZET suggests a cohort of investors is treating the recent Ethereum weakness as an opportunity to build positions via regulated ETF exposure rather than a reason to head for the exits. With flows rising while prices remain subdued, the divergence highlights a familiar dynamic in digital-asset markets: tactical traders may be pulling back, but longer-horizon allocators appear willing to lean into the dip.
