The Franklin Ethereum ETF, ticker EZET, recorded a sharp pre-Christmas outflow of $5.61 million on December 24, 2025, as investors trimmed exposure to the struggling crypto asset class. The redemption represents roughly 9.5% of the ETF’s latest assets under management, which now stand at $59.2 million, underscoring how sensitive the relatively small vehicle is to shifts in sentiment.
The move comes against the backdrop of a difficult quarter for its underlying asset, Ethereum. The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,969.96, having shed about 30.1% over the past three months. Despite that steep drawdown, short-term indicators remain indecisive, with the 1-day technical picture flashing a cautious Hold rather than a clear buy-the-dip or sell signal.
Such a sizable one-day outflow relative to AUM suggests institutional and sophisticated retail investors are still reassessing risk heading into year-end, choosing to reduce ETH-linked exposure rather than bet on an immediate rebound. At the same time, the neutral technical stance hints that the recent selling may be more about macro risk management and profit protection than a fundamental capitulation on Ethereum’s long-term prospects.
