The Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund, FBTC, attracted $82.8 million in fresh inflows on February 25, 2026, even as sentiment around digital assets remains fragile. The move lifted the ETF’s assets under management to about $12.12 billion, with the single-day haul representing roughly 0.68% of its total AUM.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $67,380.84 after a steep three-month slide of about 25.22%, underscoring the volatility investors are willing to stomach. Despite the drawdown, the coin’s 1-day technical profile is flashing a cautious Hold, suggesting traders see consolidation rather than outright capitulation.
The contrast between negative price momentum in Bitcoin and steady inflows into FBTC highlights a divide between short-term traders and longer-horizon allocators. For some institutions, the recent correction appears to be an opportunity to scale into regulated spot exposure, rather than a signal to exit the asset class.
With FBTC now sitting comfortably above the $12 billion mark, Fidelity’s product remains one of the bellwethers for mainstream adoption of crypto in portfolio construction. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
