Goldman Sachs‘s Quarter-Over-Quarter Swing

Goldman Sachs‘s $87.4 million position is notable not just for its size but for how quickly it was built. In late 2025, Goldman was the largest spot XRP ETF holder.

However, the bank held zero XRP ETF exposure by Q1 2026. It had exited completely, rotating into crypto equities including Circle, Galaxy Digital, and Coinbase. The Q2 filing shows a quarterly change of 83,151,053 XRP units.

BankXRP confirmed Goldman as “the largest disclosed XRP ETF holder.” It has reclaimed its spot, and its position spans five separate XRP ETF products, including Franklin, Bitwise, Canary, 21Shares, and Grayscale. Goldman also holds $3.8 million in Evernorth Holdings, a publicly traded XRP treasury company backed by Ripple, SBI, Pantera Capital, and Kraken.

Rising Institutional Adoption

Goldman tops the list. Jane Street Group follows at $16.6 million. Jane Street’s $16.6 million disclosure carries a different weight than a standard institutional allocation. The firm operates as a market maker. Its positions across multiple XRP ETF products simultaneously reflect involvement in the ecosystem liquidity structure.

Millennium Management reports $16.2 million. Intesa Sanpaolo, one of Europe’s largest banks, discloses $14.4 million. Wells Fargo, which manages $2.1 trillion in total assets, holds $9.18 million in the Bitwise XRP ETF across two positions. Citadel Advisors comes in at $1.85 million.

Trading firms, investment banks, private equity firms, and commercial banks all filed in the same Q2 cycle. That range of institution types has not appeared together in a single XRP ETF disclosure period before.

A Disclosure Record That Keeps Growing

Q2 2026 has produced more institutional XRP ETF disclosures than any prior quarter. Each firm approached its position differently. Goldman diversified across five issuers. Wells Fargo concentrated on one product. Jane Street covered all major issuers at once.

The strategies vary, but the outcome is the same. More capital from more institution types is now sitting in spot XRP ETFs than at any point since they launched. The list includes over 30 institutions, highlighting where institutional XRP adoption stands heading into the second half of 2026.

The post Wall Street Is loading up on XRP. Here’s What Goldman Sachs Just Did appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Crypto analyst BankXRP (@BankXRP) brought the disclosure to public attention, noting the scale and diversity of Goldman’s holdings.

Goldman Sachs Returns to XRP

This is not Goldman’s first appearance in XRP ETF disclosures. In its Q4 2025 13F filing, the bank held $153.8 million across four XRP ETF products, making it the single largest institutional holder at the time. That position disappeared entirely in the Q1 2026 filing.

Goldman had exited XRP and Solana ETFs completely, rotating instead into crypto equities like Circle, Galaxy Digital, and Coinbase. The exit rattled XRP markets. Now Goldman is back. Its Q2 2026 13F, filed August 14, shows $86.5 million spread across five XRP ETF products. The return is notable not just for its size but for its scope.

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs reclaimed its position as the largest disclosed XRP ETF holder, with $86.5M invested across five XRP ETFs.

— 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸XRP (@BankXRP) August 21, 2026

A Diversified Position Across Five Funds

Crypto expert Chad Steingraber outlined the ETF acquisitions. The Franklin XRP Trust holds $25.4 million. Bitwise XRP ETF accounts for $25.8 million. The Canary XRP ETF carries $19.5 million. The 21Shares XRP ETF stands at $8.2 million. The Grayscale XRP Trust rounds out the five at $7.6 million.

Goldman did not concentrate on a single product. The capital is spread deliberately across issuers, reflecting a structured approach to XRP ETF exposure.

The Sixth Position: Evernorth

Goldman’s filing also includes a $3.8 million position in Armada Acquisition Corp, ticker XRPN. That is Evernorth Holdings Inc., a publicly traded institutional XRP treasury company formed through a business combination with Armada Acquisition Corp. II.

Evernorth is backed by Ripple, SBI, Pantera Capital, and Kraken, and holds over 473 million XRP as part of its long-term accumulation strategy. Goldman’s position in XRPN extends its XRP exposure beyond standard ETF structures into a dedicated institutional treasury vehicle.

A Growing Disclosure Record

Q2 2026 has produced a significant volume of institutional XRP ETF filings. Goldman’s return to the top of the disclosed holder list, combined with new entries from Jane Street, Wells Fargo, and Bank of Montreal, shows institutional participation expanding across firm types. Trading firms, investment banks, and commercial banks now appear in the same disclosure cycle.

The post Goldman Sachs Reclaims Top XRP Position. Here’s the Latest appeared first on Times Tabloid.

Goldman Sachs’ Current Position

Goldman Sachs held $153.8 million in XRP ETF products as recently as Q4 2025, making it the largest spot XRP ETF holder on Wall Street. Its SOL position stood at $108 million across six ETF products.

Both positions now read $0. The bank also cut its ETH exposure by 70%, dropping from around $380 million to $114 million. Bitcoin (BTC) was trimmed by approximately 10%, from $715 million to $690 million.

The XRP holdings spanned four ETF products: BITW, FXRP, GXRP, and TOXR. The SOL position covered BITW, FSOLW, GSOL, and three additional products.  The filing also showed new inflows into Circle, Coinbase, and Galaxy Digital. Goldman Sachs moved capital into crypto infrastructure equities rather than direct token-linked products.

A Closer Look at the Numbers

The 13F filing generated significant attention across crypto circles. Some read the exits as a vote of no confidence in XRP and SOL. Goldman’s status as the largest spot XRP ETF holder gave the move added weight.

Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, offered a more technical reading. He pointed out that Goldman’s holdings were active on its trading desk, not directional investment positions. “Their initial holdings of XRP and SOL were meant to facilitate client needs,” Kwok wrote, citing “ETF creation/redemptions, market-making, prime brokerage activity.”

Kwok noted that these were not investments driven by bullish expectations for SOL or XRP. He described the Q1 changes as “nothing more than a routine rebalancing.”

Context for the Filing

13F filings report institutional holdings at a point in time. They show what firms held at quarter-end, not the reasoning behind those positions. Goldman Sachs’ trading desk operates differently from its investment portfolios. Positions tied to client facilitation turnover regularly.

The rotation into Circle, Coinbase, and Galaxy Digital shows Goldman Sachs maintains crypto exposure. The shift moves capital toward companies operating within the crypto ecosystem rather than ETFs tracking token prices directly.

Kwok’s point stands on mechanics. Goldman Sachs’ XRP and SOL positions served operational functions. The Q1 filing reflects the end of those functions for that quarter, not a strategic exit from the asset class.

The bank also exited its SOL position and trimmed holdings in BTC and ETH. The answers, however, point to something far more routine than the headlines suggest.

Goldman Sachs Reason for Holding XRP

Goldman Sachs’ crypto holdings were never a bet on XRP or SOL. The positions existed to support client-facing operations. ETF creation and redemption, market-making, and prime brokerage activity all require a trading desk to hold assets on behalf of clients. Goldman Sachs held those positions because its clients needed them to exist, not because the bank was bullish on XRP.

EasyA co-founder Dom Kwok addressed the reaction directly. He clarified that Goldman Sachs’ holdings were not investments in the traditional sense. They reflected the mechanics of running a trading desk that services institutional clients in crypto markets.

fyi this is not goldman exiting its investments in $XRP and $SOL as the headline suggests.

rather, it refers to goldman's trading desk activity. their initial holdings of xrp and sol were meant to facilitate client needs e.g. etf creation / redemptions, market-making, prime… https://t.co/pNwKnzEvuU

— Dom Kwok | EasyA (@dom_kwok) May 18, 2026

Routine Operations Misread as a Signal

When a trading desk rebalances, it responds to client demand. If redemptions outpace creations on an XRP ETF, the desk reduces its exposure accordingly, and the position shrinks. On paper, it looks like an exit. In practice, it is an operational adjustment.

An investment exit signals a loss of conviction. A trading desk rebalance signals a shift in client activity. The two carry very different weights, and conflating them distorts the picture for retail investors trying to read institutional behavior.

Kwok, who has publicly stated he believes XRP can reach $1,000 by 2030, pushed back on the narrative forming around the filing. His position is that Goldman Sachs’ move shows nothing about XRP’s long-term outlook.

What to Expect from XRP

Goldman Sachs Sachs reducing its ETF exposure does not alter the fundamental case for XRP. The bank was not a holder because it believed in the asset; it held the position because its clients required it. When that requirement changed, the position changed.

Retail investors tracking institutional 13F filings need to apply this filter consistently. Goldman Sachs’s trading desk activity reflects client flow, not proprietary conviction. Reading it as the latter leads to conclusions that the data does not support.

The XRP market remains active. Spot ETFs continue to dominate the market. Institutional infrastructure around the asset is still developing, and one desk’s rebalancing does not change any of that.

The post Expert States Real Reason Why Goldman Sachs Dumped Its XRP ETFs appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The development, shared by federally regulated prediction market platform, Kalshi Crypto, has added another layer of uncertainty to an already weak cryptocurrency market. Investors are now reassessing institutional confidence in altcoin-related investment products as XRP struggles to maintain key support levels.

The report is based on Goldman Sachs’ latest Form 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the filing, the bank sold all of its XRP ETF positions, which were previously valued at approximately $154 million across major issuers, including Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares. Goldman also exited all of its Solana ETF holdings during the same quarter.

The liquidation is significant because Goldman Sachs had previously emerged as one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETF products shortly after their launch in late 2025. Its sudden withdrawal is now contributing to negative sentiment surrounding XRP at a time when the broader digital asset market is already under pressure.

Institutional Confidence in Altcoins Appears to Be Weakening

The latest filing suggests that institutional appetite for altcoin ETFs weakened considerably during the first quarter of 2026. While Bitcoin-related investment products continued attracting major institutional support, firms appear far less confident in newer crypto funds tied to XRP, Solana, and Ethereum.

Goldman Sachs did not completely abandon the cryptocurrency sector. Instead, the bank maintained a substantial $700 million position in Bitcoin ETFs, primarily through BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC funds. The bank reportedly trimmed that exposure by only around 10%, a much smaller reduction compared to its complete exit from XRP and Solana-related products.

The contrast is becoming increasingly important for investors trying to understand why XRP is underperforming. Wall Street firms continue treating Bitcoin as a separate macro asset class while viewing altcoins as higher-risk investments with weaker liquidity profiles.

Ethereum ETF Exposure Also Sees Major Reduction

The filing also revealed that Goldman Sachs sharply reduced its Ethereum ETF exposure. The bank cut its position in BlackRock’s ETHA fund by nearly 70%, leaving approximately $114 million remaining.

This broader reduction across non-Bitcoin crypto products suggests the issue extends beyond XRP alone. Institutional investors may be reassessing the viability of altcoin ETFs due to lower trading volumes, weaker inflows, and more difficult liquidity conditions compared to Bitcoin investment products.

For XRP, that environment creates additional downside pressure because the asset relies heavily on positive institutional sentiment to sustain momentum during volatile market periods.

Market Liquidity Concerns Continue to Weigh on XRP

Another major factor contributing to XRP’s weakness involves concerns surrounding liquidity and investor participation in altcoin ETF markets. XRP and Solana ETFs launched with strong expectations in late 2025, but trading activity appears to have fallen short of early projections.

Large financial institutions typically avoid investment products that lack sufficient liquidity for efficient capital movement. Goldman Sachs’ decision to fully liquidate its XRP ETF exposure within one quarter may signal dissatisfaction with market depth and trading conditions surrounding these funds.

At the same time, Goldman increased exposure to crypto-focused companies such as Circle, Coinbase, and Galaxy Digital. That shift indicates the bank may still believe in the long-term growth of the digital asset industry while preferring infrastructure and compliance-focused businesses over direct exposure to speculative altcoin products.

For XRP holders, the latest filing represents another bearish development during a period of heightened uncertainty across the cryptocurrency market.

The post Here’s Why XRP Price Is Crashing Right Now appeared first on Times Tabloid.

SMQKE pointed to J.P. Morgan’s revealed utilization of the XRPL and suggested that Goldman Sachs and Citi could eventually follow. The comment arrived shortly after details emerged surrounding a major pilot transaction involving J.P. Morgan, Ripple, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance.

The development has gained attention because it represents more than a standard blockchain experiment. The pilot demonstrated interoperability between a major bank’s private settlement infrastructure and a public blockchain network, a model many analysts believe could influence the future of tokenized finance.

J.P Morgan recently revealed its utilization of the XRPL.

Up next?

Goldman Sachs and Citi. https://t.co/nCu062uXxz

— SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) May 9, 2026

J.P. Morgan’s XRPL Connection Explained

On May 7, 2026, J.P. Morgan, through its Kinexys platform, participated in a pilot transaction that connected its banking infrastructure with the XRP Ledger. The initiative also involved Mastercard, Ondo Finance, and Ripple. The transaction focused on the redemption of tokenized U.S. Treasuries and the settlement of corresponding fiat payments across borders.

The process reportedly completed in under five seconds. That result differs from the traditional financial system, where similar cross-border treasury settlements can require 1 to 3 business days. The pilot used Ondo Finance’s tokenized treasury product, OUSG, on the XRPL, while J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys platform finalized the U.S. dollar settlement into a Singapore-based bank account.

Importantly, J.P. Morgan did not migrate its operations onto the XRPL itself. Instead, the bank connected its private blockchain infrastructure with the public XRP Ledger through an interoperability model. This distinction matters because it signals that major institutions may prefer hybrid systems rather than fully abandoning private networks.

The Shift Toward Hybrid Financial Infrastructure

The pilot has strengthened the argument that large financial institutions are moving away from isolated blockchain systems. Instead of operating entirely in closed environments, firms are now testing structures that combine traditional banking rails with the efficiency of public blockchain.

Within the transaction, the XRP Ledger handled the tokenized asset component, Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network acted as the messaging layer, and J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys platform completed the fiat settlement. The collaboration showed how multiple financial technologies can function together in real time.

The XRPL’s role in the pilot has also become a major talking point among analysts. Supporters argue that the network’s fast settlement speeds, low transaction costs, and reduced exposure to maximal extractable value concerns made it suitable for institutional-grade treasury activity. Those characteristics continue to distinguish the XRPL from other blockchain networks competing for the adoption of tokenized finance.

Why Goldman Sachs and Citi Are Now Part of the Conversation

SMQKE’s suggestion that Goldman Sachs and Citi could be next reflects ongoing developments within the tokenization sector. Both institutions reportedly participate in discussions connected to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s upcoming tokenization platform, which is expected to launch later in 2026.

Ripple and J.P. Morgan are also connected to those industry initiatives, increasing speculation that additional banking giants may eventually test interoperability with public ledgers.

With J.P. Morgan already demonstrating a functioning bridge between traditional settlement rails and the XRPL, pressure may increase on other custodians and banking institutions to provide similar around-the-clock liquidity and settlement capabilities.

The post JPMorgan Revealed It Uses of XRP Ledger. Goldman Sachs and Citi Up Next? appeared first on Times Tabloid.

The Wall Street giant now holds $153 million in XRP ETFs, surpassing other institutional investors in the sector. This move highlights growing interest from major financial players in digital assets.

Institutional Appetite Grows

The filings, reported by BSCN (@BSCNews) on X, show that institutional appetite for XRP is increasing. Analysts note that this accumulation is part of a broader trend of “super fans” entering the market.

Institutional interest in XRP ETFs is seen as a positive signal for the asset. When major financial firms invest, it often validates the market for other investors. In this case, Goldman Sachs’ disclosure suggests confidence in XRP as a long-term holding.

Such accumulation can support price stability and create conditions for growth as ETF adoption expands. Spot XRP ETFs entered the market in November 2025 and quickly surpassed $1 billion in assets under management. They have now recorded $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows, reflecting strong demand from large-scale investors.

Historical Context and Market Momentum

XRP’s market history demonstrates that periods of institutional accumulation often coincide with upward price movements. While retail investors may react to short-term volatility, the consistent inflows into XRP ETFs indicate sustained confidence from professional investors. This pattern can reinforce momentum as more institutions consider exposure to the token.

Critics have questioned large-scale XRP investments by Wall Street firms, citing concerns about market manipulation. However, supporters believe that these moves strengthen the ecosystem. By increasing ETF holdings, institutions provide liquidity and increase market efficiency. This can make XRP a more reliable option for both retail and institutional traders.

Strategic Interest from Financial Institutions

The rise of XRP ETF inflows follows a pattern of growing institutional engagement across the crypto market. Goldman Sachs’ position highlights the firm’s strategic interest in digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. The $153 million exposure positions the bank at the forefront of XRP investment and signals that other financial institutions may follow.

ETF accumulation contributes directly to market growth. As ETFs expand, the demand for the underlying asset rises. This can create a structured pathway for price appreciation. The combination of ETF inflows and institutional participation reinforces XRP’s status as a leading digital asset. Investors often view such trends as a precursor to broader adoption in the financial system.

Their Hatred of XRP Is a Good Sign

XRP accounts for 6% of Goldman Sachs’ crypto holdings. While smaller than Bitcoin or Ethereum, it represents a meaningful stake for a top-tier institutional investor. In the video shared by Xaif, the speakers discussed the allocation. One commented, “I don’t hate it. I hate 6% of it. I don’t really care for the XRP, but I don’t know, if I’m Goldman Sachs, then maybe I’m into it.”

Xaif’s post emphasized that the criticism of XRP reflects its significance in the crypto ecosystem. He argued that indifference characterizes assets without impact, while attention and even disdain arise only for those that challenge the status quo.

In the video, one speaker explicitly noted discomfort with XRP, despite holding it as part of Goldman Sachs’ $2.36 billion crypto portfolio. Xaif interprets this reaction as evidence of XRP’s revolutionary potential. The token is not merely a speculative asset; it represents infrastructure capable of scaling liquidity and utility.

Market Attention on XRP

If XRP were irrelevant, it would be ignored. The very criticism it faces signals its influence and the threat it poses to traditional systems. This validates its strategic importance in both institutional and broader markets.

Xaif explained that when utility scales and liquidity deepens, large price adjustments follow. He suggested that XRP could undergo a major repricing event, potentially reaching $1,000 if adoption continues and infrastructure use increases.

The discussion highlights how institutional positions can validate a digital asset. Unlike assets with little adoption, XRP’s inclusion in a prominent portfolio signals recognition of its operational significance. Even a small percentage of XRP in a major portfolio signals interest. Institutional exposure can contribute to both market confidence and liquidity expansion.

For Goldman Sachs, the move represents more than a tactical buy; it reflects a carefully considered decision grounded in market analysis, risk management, and confidence in the token’s operational value.

Crypto commentator SMQKE highlighted on X that Goldman Sachs’ purchase aligns with its Q4 2025 disclosure showing $153 million in XRP exposure via ETFs. This acquisition also resonates with an Atlantis Press academic study that praises XRP’s price resilience during market shocks and forecasts its growth potential relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The combination of institutional positioning and scholarly validation provides a clear rationale for the bank’s strategic entry during the price dip.

This explains why Goldman Sachs bought the dip in XRP. https://t.co/EN1vP24vSW

— SMQKE (@SMQKEDQG) February 10, 2026

XRP’s Stability and Real-World Utility

The Atlantis Press paper emphasizes XRP’s ability to maintain stability even amid market turbulence. Its design and liquidity mechanisms limit extreme volatility, offering predictability that institutional investors value.

Additionally, XRP consistently delivers low transaction fees and fast cross-border settlements, making it a practical tool for global finance. These characteristics make the token attractive to banks seeking assets that blend utility with long-term growth potential.

XRP’s integration into existing financial systems enhances its appeal. Institutions can leverage it for efficient, low-cost transfers, using the token both as a medium of exchange and a store of value. For banks like Goldman Sachs, this dual functionality provides strategic advantages that extend beyond speculative investment.

Undervaluation Creates Opportunity

SMQKE’s post draws attention to the Atlantis Press paper’s assessment of XRP as undervalued relative to its capabilities.

While Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate narratives, XRP offers a distinct value proposition: stability, operational efficiency, and growth potential. Buying during a price dip allows institutions to position themselves for future upside while holding an asset with practical utility in regulated financial networks.

Implications for the Broader Market

Goldman Sachs’ XRP acquisition signals increasing institutional confidence in digital assets. As other large investors take note of the token’s resilience, utility, and undervaluation, market liquidity and adoption may accelerate. This move demonstrates that sophisticated investors rely on data, research, and practical use cases rather than speculation alone.

In essence, Goldman Sachs’ decision to buy XRP during a dip highlights a strategic, data-driven approach. By combining market timing with the token’s structural advantages, the bank reinforces XRP’s role not just as a speculative asset but as a functional cornerstone of the evolving digital financial ecosystem.

Institutional Foundations for Ripple’s Growth

Ripple’s early fundraising strategy focused on securing partners who could offer both financial and operational advantages. Goldman Sachs’ involvement brought deep knowledge of global banking infrastructure, while Google contributed technological expertise in distributed networks and scalable systems.

These co-investments enabled Ripple to design a compliant, high-throughput payment network capable of serving enterprise clients and financial institutions.

Unlike speculative token purchases, these early investments emphasized long-term utility. By integrating both financial and technological backing, Ripple positioned itself to navigate regulatory challenges and accelerate adoption within traditional banking systems. This approach created a network that could bridge legacy financial rails with blockchain-based settlement solutions.

Impact on XRP and Market Confidence

Goldman Sachs’ recent disclosure of over 109 million XRP tokens highlights its continued belief in the token’s role in payments and liquidity management. Institutional holdings like these provide credibility to XRP, signaling to the market that major players view the token as more than a speculative asset.

The combination of historical co-investment and ongoing portfolio allocation underscores Ripple’s dual focus on building functional payment infrastructure while maintaining investor confidence.

Long-Term Strategic Significance

The participation of firms like Goldman Sachs and Google illustrates a broader trend in crypto adoption: networks with strong institutional and technological backing often achieve sustained relevance.

These early partnerships gave Ripple the credibility, resources, and expertise necessary to thrive amid regulatory scrutiny and market evolution. For investors and observers, understanding these relationships clarifies why XRP continues to play a strategic role in bridging blockchain technology with traditional finance.

In essence, Ripple’s story reflects deliberate, long-term planning. Institutional co-investments transformed the network from a speculative experiment into a foundational component of global digital payments, ensuring that XRP’s relevance extends far beyond short-term market cycles.
