The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, ticker EZBC, drew an estimated $8,093,250 in net inflows on December 10, 2025, even as its underlying asset remains under pressure. With assets under management now at about $511.8 million, the latest move represents roughly 1.58% of the fund’s AUM—an unusually strong one-day vote of confidence for a single-asset crypto vehicle.
The inflows suggest that investors are using recent weakness in bitcoin as an opportunity to add exposure via regulated, exchange-traded structures rather than trading directly on crypto venues. For an ETF of this size, a flow of more than 1.5% of total assets in one session underscores both the stickiness of institutional demand and the continued appeal of spot bitcoin products as portfolio tools for directional bets and diversification.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,246. Over the past three months, bitcoin has shed approximately 25.66%, a retreat that has tempered some of the exuberance that drove prior peaks. Technically, the short-term picture remains fragile, with the 1-day signal flashing Sell, indicating that momentum and trend indicators still favor the bears in the immediate term.
Yet the contrast between negative short-term signals and positive ETF flows hints at a growing cohort of investors willing to look through near-term volatility, positioning for a potential longer-term recovery in bitcoin prices.
