Goldman Sachs Dumps XRP and Solana ETFs in Major Crypto Portfolio Shake-Up

• Goldman Sachs continued to retain crypto company shares and large positions in Bitcoin and Ether ETFs even after it ceased revealing its holdings in XRP and Solana ETFs.
• According to Goldman Sachs’ Q42025 13F filing, four different exchange-traded funds (ETFs) associated with XRP—had a total value of around $154 million.

As of the first quarter of 2026, US investment bank Goldman Sachs has drastically reduced its cryptocurrency ETF holdings. There were no XRP-linked exchange-traded funds (ETFs) included in the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Q1 Form 13F filing with Goldman Sachs.

According to Goldman Sachs’ Q42025 13F filing, four different exchange-traded funds (ETFs) associated with XRP—one each from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares—had a total value of around $154 million.

Quarterly 13F filings show how big institutional asset managers distribute their money among digital asset investment products, so cryptocurrency investors watch them closely. The bank withdrew from XRP products even though digital asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have a lot of institutional interest.

Retained Ethereum and Bitcoin Products

Regarding exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to Solana, there was also a shift at Goldman Sachs. Many Solana-affiliated exchange-traded funds (ETFs), such as GSOL, BSOL, and FSOL, are already known to have the bank’s money. Ended in late 2025, XRP-and Solana-linked ETFs emerged with a slew of crypto funds unconnected to Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Later in October 2025, trade in Solana ETFs began, thanks to the November availability of further funds. In a mad dash to get new cryptocurrency products into investors’ hands, issuers released the first spot XRP ETFs in the middle of November. Goldman Sachs continued to retain crypto company shares and large positions in Bitcoin and Ether ETFs even after it ceased revealing its holdings in XRP and Solana ETFs.

In spite of a 10% quarterly reduction in both holdings, the bank maintained $690 million in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and $25 million in Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC). Another development is that Goldman Sachs cut its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) holdings by over 70%, leaving it with 7.2 million shares worth about $114 million.
