The 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF, BITX, drew $2.41 million of net inflows on February 20, 2026, even as leveraged crypto exposure remains volatile. The move nudged assets under management to roughly $936.75 million, with the latest flow representing about 0.26% of the fund’s total AUM.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading near $68,039 after shedding about 22.53% over the past three months. Short-term traders face a cautious tape, as the one-day technical signal flashes a guarded Sell, underscoring the risk of amplified downside in a 2x product.
The fresh inflows suggest dip buyers are still willing to embrace leverage, betting on a rebound in Bitcoin even as momentum indicators soften. For a more detailed analysis and real-time sentiment trends, check the live cryptocurrency prices here.
