The Franklin Ethereum ETF, ticker EZET, saw a significant bout of profit-taking on December 24, 2025, with investors pulling out $5.61 million in a single session. The redemption represents roughly 9.54% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which now stand at $58.85 million, marking one of the more substantial single-day shifts in the ETF’s short history.
The scale of the outflow suggests that a segment of the market is choosing to step back from concentrated Ethereum exposure after a volatile quarter. While the ETF’s size remains modest compared to broader crypto-themed products, a near 10% AUM swing in one day underscores how sensitive specialized digital-asset funds can be to sentiment shifts and short-term price action.
The related asset, ETH-USD, is currently trading around $2,982.22, having shed approximately 28.8% over the past three months. Despite that steep drawdown, near-term price action has stabilized enough that the 1-day technical signal screens as Hold, pointing to a market caught between dip-buyers and risk-off sellers.
For EZET holders, the latest flows highlight a familiar crypto pattern: when underlying tokens endure extended drawdowns, even diversified vehicles tied to them can see abrupt swings in demand. Whether Monday’s outflow proves to be capitulation or simply a pause in allocation will likely depend on Ethereum’s ability to regain momentum and broader risk appetite across digital assets.
