The T-Rex 2X Long Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCL, logged net outflows of $1,186,964 on December 24, 2025, as investors trimmed exposure ahead of year-end. The move represents roughly 3.19% of the fund’s latest reported assets under management, which stand at $37.2 million, signaling a meaningful but not yet destabilizing pullback from the leveraged Bitcoin vehicle.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading around $87,865.50, having shed about 23.18% over the past three months. Despite that drawdown, its short-term technical stance remains cautious rather than outright bearish, with a 1-day signal of Hold.
The combination of a sharp three-month price retracement in Bitcoin and the inherent volatility amplification of a 2x leveraged product appears to be prompting some investors to lock in gains or cut losses. Outflows of more than 3% of AUM in a single day suggest that traders are reassessing how much leverage they want to carry into a market that has recently struggled to find a clear direction.
Still, BTCL’s remaining AUM base indicates sustained interest from investors who are either betting on a rebound in Bitcoin or using the ETF tactically for short-term positioning. If Bitcoin stabilizes or stages a recovery, flows could quickly reverse; conversely, continued price weakness would likely increase pressure on leveraged products, where both risk and reward are magnified.
