The T-Rex 2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCL, recorded a sharp outflow of $1,186,964 on December 24, 2025, as investors trimmed exposure to leveraged Bitcoin bets. With assets under management now standing at $37,033,216, the latest redemption represents roughly 3.21% of the fund’s AUM — a meaningful swing for a product designed to amplify daily moves in the world’s largest cryptocurrency.
The pullback in flows underscores growing caution around leveraged crypto strategies amid a choppy backdrop for Bitcoin itself. The related asset, BTC-USD, is trading at $87,867.55, having shed about 20.6% over the past three months. Short-term momentum looks fragile as well, with the 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, suggesting traders expect further downside or, at best, continued turbulence.
For BTCL, which seeks to deliver twice the daily performance of Bitcoin, that combination of negative medium-term trend and bearish near-term signals raises the stakes: volatility cuts both ways, magnifying losses as readily as gains. The latest outflow may reflect risk management rather than a structural shift away from crypto, as some investors lock in profits from earlier rallies or step to the sidelines until technicals stabilize.
Still, a single-session outflow of over 3% of AUM is a notable vote of no-confidence in leveraged upside at this stage of the Bitcoin cycle, and it highlights how sensitive specialized products like BTCL are to swings in sentiment and momentum.
