Goldman Sachs Rebuilds $86.5 Million XRP ETF Stake Across 5 Funds After Q1 Exit

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 25

Summary

  • $86.5 million of spot XRP ETF exposure appeared in Goldman Sachs' June 30 13F, spread across five funds after the bank reported no XRP ETF holdings at the end of Q1.
  • Bitwise and Franklin Templeton accounted for about $25.8 million and $25.4 million respectively, while the filing does not show whether the positions were for investment, hedging, market-making or client activity.
  • XRP derivatives gave a mixed read on whether that renewed institutional interest points to a rally: whale long-short ratios reached 2.18 on Binance and 23.38 on OKX, but Binance and Bybit smart-money signals stayed bearish.
  • Coinbase order-book data also showed large buy and sell walls around XRP's current price, suggesting whales are containing the token near current levels rather than setting up an immediate breakout.
