The T-Rex 2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCL, recorded a striking influx of capital on December 16, 2025, with fresh flows of $56.0 million. That single-day move represents roughly 58.1% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which now stand at about $96.5 million. Such a large flow relative to AUM underscores how quickly leveraged crypto vehicles can expand when traders seek to time sharp moves in the underlying asset.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,246, down approximately 25.7% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, short-term indicators flash caution: the one-day technical signal is a bearish Sell. This divergence—heavy inflows into a 2x long ETF against a weakening technical backdrop—suggests investors may be positioning for a rebound or engaging in aggressive short-term speculation rather than following the prevailing trend.
BTCL’s surge in assets highlights a broader pattern in the crypto derivatives landscape: when spot prices slide, risk-tolerant traders increasingly turn to leveraged products to amplify potential upside, accepting higher volatility in return. Whether this latest wave of capital marks the beginning of a contrarian bounce or simply adds fuel to an already choppy market will hinge on Bitcoin’s ability to stabilize after its recent correction.
