Goldman Sachs liquidated its holdings in XRP and Solana ETF in Q1, but still holds over 700 million dollars in Bitcoin ETF

Goldman Sachs significantly reduced its exposure to crypto ETFs in the first quarter of 2026 and has completely exited its positions in XRP and Solana-related ETFs. Documents show that Goldman Sachs held approximately $154 million in XRP-related ETFs in the fourth quarter of 2025, including products from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares, making it one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETFs at that time. Additionally, it previously held Grayscale Solana Trust ETF, Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, and Fidelity Solana Fund, among other Solana-related ETFs, and has now exited all of these positions.

However, Goldman Sachs still retains a significant position in BTC and ETH ETFs. Specifically, it holds approximately $690 million in BlackRock IBIT and about $25 million in Fidelity FBTC, although both positions have decreased by about 10% compared to the previous quarter. Meanwhile, its position in BlackRock ETHA has shrunk by about 70%, leaving approximately 7.2 million shares valued at around $114 million. Furthermore, Goldman Sachs has increased its holdings in crypto-related stocks such as Circle, Galaxy Digital, Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal, while reducing its positions in mining and infrastructure companies like Strategy, Bit Digital, Riot Platforms, and IREN.
