The T-Rex 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCZ, recorded net outflows of $1.61 million on February 26, 2026, trimming its assets under management to $15.03 million. The move represents roughly 10.7% of AUM, signaling a notable pullback from investors who had been betting on amplified downside in Bitcoin.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $72,636.93 after sliding about 19.25% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, its 1-day technical signal still flashes Sell, underscoring persistent short-term pressure even as leveraged bearish ETF holders appear to be taking profits or reducing risk.
The sharp single-day outflow from BTCZ suggests that some traders are reconsidering aggressive inverse exposure as Bitcoin consolidates at elevated price levels. With leverage magnifying both gains and losses, even modest shifts in sentiment around Bitcoin’s next leg can trigger outsized moves in specialized products like BTCZ.
