US Investment Bank’s XRP Position Attracts Attention
The report in question shows that the bank is one of the institutions with the largest position in crypto-related assets among the leading US banks. However, the ratio of crypto assets in the total portfolio is still at a limited level.
According to the data obtained, the bank’s XRP investments were largely made through exchange traded funds (ETFs) traded on XRP. The total value of XRP ETFs in the portfolio was included in the report as approximately 152 million dollars.
In the evaluations made regarding the amount in XRP ETFs, it was stated that institutional buying signals have recently manifested themselves with voluminous transactions.
US spot XRP ETFs have combined net assets of over $1.04 billion. These ETFs started trading 56 days ago and outflows were recorded in only 4 sessions. This information indicates that corporate interest continues.
Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading investment banks, provides consultancy in the fields of mergers, capital markets and restructuring, especially to public institutions and large companies. As of the beginning of 2026, the total assets controlled by the bank reached $3.6 trillion. It also operates in different areas such as trading, asset management and portfolio management.
His Attitude Towards Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies from Past to Present
The organization has taken a cautious approach to Bitcoin and similar crypto assets in the past. Especially before 2020, it was stated by managers and research teams that Bitcoin was generally a speculative tool and was considered inadequate in terms of traditional financial values.
In the bank’s evaluations published at that time, cryptocurrencies were not suitable for conservative portfolios; At the same time, it was emphasized that price volatility and regulatory risks came to the fore.
In the post-2020 period, as corporate interest increased significantly, the bank changed its strategy somewhat. The crypto trading desk was reopened, access to derivative products began to be provided, and analyzes were published noting that Bitcoin could be a potential hedge against inflation. Still, the bank refrained from recognizing these assets as primary.
With the crypto price declines in 2022, attention was drawn to infrastructure and counterparty risks. Recently, the bank has started to cautiously take part in the crypto market, especially in ETFs and tokenization projects. In the institution’s current approach, the view that crypto assets are still speculative remains evident.
