The T-Rex 2X Inverse Bitcoin Daily Target ETF, BTCZ, recorded a sizable outflow of $967,679 on January 2, 2026, a move that trimmed roughly 7.54% from its assets under management. The leveraged inverse fund now holds $12.83 million in AUM, suggesting some bearish traders may be taking profits or stepping back from leveraged downside exposure after a turbulent stretch for Bitcoin.
The related asset, BTC-USD, is currently trading at $93,425.34, down about 25.29% over the past three months. Despite that steep decline, the short-term view remains indecisive, with a 1-day technical signal of Hold. The combination of a sharp three-month pullback and a neutral near-term signal may be prompting traders to reassess the risk/reward of leveraged inverse strategies such as BTCZ.
Outflows of this size, relative to the fund’s total AUM, can hint at a shift in sentiment: instead of aggressively positioning for further downside, some market participants appear more cautious, waiting for clearer direction in Bitcoin’s next big move.
