Sterling Bets Pile In: Invesco’s Pound ETF Sees Big Year-End Inflows as Traders Lean Bullish

The Invesco CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust, ticker FXB, drew fresh interest at the end of the year, recording approximately $6.5 million in net inflows on December 29, 2025. The move amounts to about 7.7% of the fund’s roughly $84.4 million in assets under management (AUM), a sizable single-day allocation shift that underscores renewed conviction in sterling against the U.S. dollar.

Such a large inflow relative to AUM suggests investors are positioning for further strength in the pound, or at least for continued resilience after a choppy macro backdrop. With rate expectations and growth prospects in both the UK and US in flux, ETF flows into FXB can serve as a visible barometer of sentiment toward the GBP-USD pair among institutional and sophisticated retail traders.

The related asset, FX:GBP-USD, is currently trading around 1.34384. Over the past three months, the pair has inched higher by about 0.15%, reflecting a modest but positive trend amid alternating narratives around Bank of England and Federal Reserve policy paths. On a shorter horizon, the one-day technical signal has tilted to Buy, aligning with the latest flow surge into FXB and hinting at near-term bullish momentum.
