Goldman Sachs Exits XRP and Solana ETF Positions in Q1 2026
Goldman Sachs fully exited its exposure to XRP and Solana ETF products in the first quarter of 2026, while also trimming holdings in Bitcoin and Ether funds. The move represents a notable institutional reduction in broad crypto ETF exposure by one of the largest investment banks.
Goldman Sachs divested its entire reported positions in XRP and Solana-linked ETF products during Q1 2026, according to regulatory disclosures. The bank also reduced, though did not eliminate, its exposure to Bitcoin and Ether ETF products during the same period.
The withdrawal marks a reversal from prior quarters when large financial institutions had been broadly expanding their crypto ETF holdings. The move reshapes the picture of institutional involvement in XRP-linked products, at least as far as one major bank is concerned.
The development stands in contrast to the concurrent nine-day inflow streak recorded by spot XRP ETFs broadly, suggesting that while some institutional players are adding exposure, others are reducing it. Observers will likely watch subsequent quarterly filings to determine whether Goldman's exit is an isolated repositioning or part of a wider trend.
