Goldman Sachs has decided to treat XRP and Solana like a midlife crisis purchase, tucking away a quarter of a billion as if cashing in on a risky romance with the internet’s money.
Its latest 13F filing with the SEC shows the investment bank disclosed $152 million in XRP ETF holdings and $108 million in Solana ETF holdings. If you’re watching this with a cup of coffee tilting, yes: big numbers, big vibes, small chance of a calming payoff.
Notably, according to recent reports, Goldman Sachs executives were reportedly at the White House negotiating the future of stablecoin yields on Tuesday. As reported by U.Today, Ripple‘s Stuart Alderoty was also present during the meeting. So basically, if the White House wants to talk about stablecoins, Goldman is there with a calculator and a blazer, while Alderoty nods like he’s seen this plot before.

CEO David Solomon is scheduled to speak at the World Liberty Financial Forum in Palm Beach next week. A man who can pronounce ‘liberty’ while checking his stock ticker is basically a vibe check for the existential dread of investing.
Ditching BTC and buying altcoins
According to the filing, which covers the fourth quarter of 2025, Goldman’s new positions are held entirely through U.S. spot ETFs rather than direct token ownership. So no private keys under the mattress-just a grown-up version of “it’s not mine, it’s paper.”
The bank’s $152 million XRP bet is spread across several issuers: Bitwise XRP ETF ($39.8 million), Franklin XRP Trust ($38.5 million), Grayscale XRP Trust ($38.0 million), and 21Shares XRP ETF ($35.9 million).
Simultaneously, the bank disclosed a $108 million position in Solana, with the largest chunk allocated to the Bitwise Solana ETF ($45.4 million) and the Grayscale Solana Trust ($35.7 million).
The entry into XRP and Solana appears to be funded, at least in part, by a rotation out of Bitcoin. Data from the same filing indicates that Goldman cut its spot Bitcoin ETF holdings by approximately 40% in Q4 2025.
The bank still holds substantial positions ($1.1 billion in Bitcoin and $1 billion in Ethereum). However, the recent purchases show that Goldman’s analysts see higher upside potential in utility-focused altcoins.
