📄Full Article· Automatically extracted by trafilatura2315 words

Goldman Sachs was the largest institutional holder of XRP-related ETFs as of Dec. 31, 2025. Source: James Seyffart Quarterly 13F filings are closely watched by crypto investors because they provide a rare look into how major institutional asset managers are allocating capital across digital-asset investment products. The bank pulled back from XRP products, even as broader institutional interest in digital-asset ETFs remains intact. Goldman Sachs no longer reported any holdings in Solana-linked ETFs either. The bank previously disclosed positions in Solana-linked ETFs, including the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (GSOL), the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and the Fidelity Solana Fund (FSOL). Both XRP- and Solana-linked ETFs launched in late 2025, when issuers began rolling out a new wave of crypto funds beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH). Solana ETFs began trading in late October 2025, with additional funds rolling out in November. The first spot XRP ETFs hit the market in mid-November as issuers raced to bring new altcoin products to investors. While no longer reporting ETF exposure to XRP and Solana, Goldman Sachs continued to hold significant positions in Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, along with equity tied to crypto companies. The bank held about $690 million in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and another $25 million in the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), even after reducing both positions by roughly 10% during the quarter. Goldman Sachs also cut its position in the iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) by about 70%, leaving it with roughly 7.2 million shares valued at around $114 million.

At the same time, it reduced stakes in major mining and infrastructure names, including BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), Bit Digital (BTBT) and Riot Platforms (RIOT). It reduced positions in Strategy (MSTR) and IREN (IREN). Magazine: XRP ‘probably going to $12,’ Bitcoin ETFs add $1B: Market Moves More on the subject
