The Franklin Bitcoin ETF, traded under the ticker EZBC, recorded net outflows of $5,064,500 on December 26, 2025, trimming its assets under management to $506.45 million. The latest redemption wave represents roughly 1% of the fund’s AUM, a meaningful but not yet destabilizing move that underscores growing investor caution toward spot Bitcoin exposure.
The outflows arrive as the related asset, BTC-USD, trades around $87,867.55, down about 20.6% over the past three months. The coin’s short-term technical backdrop remains weak, with a 1‑day signal flashing Strong Sell, a backdrop that likely contributed to risk-off positioning among ETF holders.
While a 1% AUM pullback does not signal a wholesale exodus, it does mark a shift in tone from the aggressive accumulation seen earlier in the year. For institutional and retail investors using EZBC as a regulated proxy for Bitcoin exposure, the latest flows suggest a period of consolidation and selective de-risking as markets reassess the durability of the recent crypto rally.
