The venerable Goldman Sachs, that behemoth of Wall Street, has finally seen the light – or rather, the lack thereof – in its XRP ETF investment. With a flourish, they’ve liquidated their $154 million position, because who needs that kind of risk, right? The quarterly 13F filing to the SEC was the official kiss-off, marking the end of their dalliance with Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares funds.
The exit was executed with the finesse one expects from a giant like Goldman Sachs – by the time they were done, it was already Q1 2026. But, in a twist that would make even the most seasoned cynic raise an eyebrow, U.S. spot XRP ETFs continued to chug along, blissfully unaffected by the departure of this key player. It’s almost as if they were saying, “Thanks for the memories, Goldman, but we’re good.”
The numbers, as they say, are music to the ears of XRP enthusiasts. SoSoValue statistics sing a tune of resilience, with net inflows into XRP ETFs hitting $60.49 million in the past week alone. That’s $10.87 million on the last reporting day, because every little bit counts, right? Since April, the total has swelled to $176.3 million – a figure that would make even the most hardened skeptic crack a smile.

The total net assets under management have now reached a whopping $1.18 billion, controlling 1.33% of XRP’s total market capitalization as it trades at $1.43. One can’t help but chuckle at the thought of Goldman Sachs’ technical exit, which didn’t even ruffle the feathers of the XRP price action.
It appears that Goldman’s move was just a strategic pivot – a dance step away from the “pure” spot altcoins and towards the more conservative crypto infrastructure equities. After all, who needs the regulatory headache when you can invest in companies that hold tokens?
Goldman Sachs’ New Crypto Strategy: A Shift to Sanity?
Their digital portfolio rebalance was a masterclass in diversification – or a desperate attempt to find a safer haven. Let’s break it down:
- Solana: The bank bailed on SOL ETFs completely, because why not?
- Ethereum: Exposure to spot ETH ETFs was slashed by 70%, down to $114 million. A vote of confidence, or a lack thereof?
- Bitcoin: The stalwart remains – over $700 million in Bitcoin ETFs. Because, well, Bitcoin.
- Hyperliquid: The new kid on the block, with 654,630 shares worth $3.33 million. And, as a bonus, they get to hold approximately 20 million HYPE tokens. A clever move, or a wild gamble?
As the great philosopher once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Goldman Sachs seems to be sipping on a different beverage, one that’s a mix of crypto infrastructure equities and a dash of caution. Meanwhile, XRP ETFs continue to thrive, proving they’re not dependent on any single banking giant. Who knew?
