Gate News reports that Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs has filed a 13F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), showing its total holdings in four spot XRP ETFs exceeding $152 million, maintaining its position as the largest institutional holder. Goldman Sachs holds approximately 2 million shares of the 21Shares XRP ETF (worth about $35.9 million), around 1.94 million shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF ($39.81 million), about 1.93 million shares of Franklin Templeton XRPZ ($38.48 million), and approximately 1.07 million shares of Grayscale GXRP ($37.96 million).
The report indicates that as of Q1 2026, Goldman Sachs’s net holdings in spot XRP ETFs amount to $152 million. Its main competitors include Millennium Management, Logan Stone Capital, Citadel Advisors, and Jane Street Group. Despite recent pressures in the cryptocurrency market, XRP spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $1.26 billion, bringing total assets under management to approximately $996 million, with a cumulative net inflow of $1.21 billion. Goldman Sachs clients hold most of these positions.
On the same day, XRP price dropped over 2.5%, to $1.38, with a 24-hour trading range between $1.38 and $1.43. Trading volume decreased by about 10%, indicating waning market interest ahead of quarterly options expiration. Meanwhile, due to Ripple’s partnership with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to develop the BLOOM project, which pilots cross-border trade settlement using RLUSD, XRP futures open interest increased by approximately 1.62%, reaching $2.53.
Goldman Sachs has not yet clarified whether it increased or decreased its XRP holdings in Q1. Details are expected to be disclosed in the quarterly earnings report scheduled for mid-May. Analysts believe that Goldman Sachs’s continued holding of XRP spot ETFs reflects a cautious optimism about digital asset investments, while market attention remains focused on XRP’s potential in cross-border payments and enterprise applications.
