This wasn’t loud, but it’s meaningful. Goldman Sachs now holds $153M in XRP ETFs - while $BTC and ETH still dominate its crypto exposure. For a Wall Street giant, that’s not speculation. That’s allocation.
Bitcoin remains the largest position, with over $1B through BlackRock’s IBIT ETF and related options. Ethereum follows with another $1B in ETF exposure. But what stands out is diversification - $XRP and Solana have officially entered the portfolio.
Goldman’s $XRP exposure is spread across multiple funds, including 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin, and Grayscale products. On the Solana side, the bank holds about $108M across staking and trust-based ETFs.
The key detail? These aren’t direct token buys. They’re ETF positions - regulated, structured, institution-friendly. That tells you how big capital prefers to enter the space.
So what now? When a bank of this size moves beyond BTC and ETH into XRP, it signals growing comfort with broader crypto infrastructure. Not hype. Not headlines. Just steady expansion.
