Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs has completely zeroed out its exposure to U.S. spot XRP ETFs. According to a fresh quarterly 13F filing submitted to the SEC, the Wall Street giant locked in profits and closed a position worth around $154 million, which had previously been distributed across funds from Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and 21Shares.
Yes, Goldman Sachs - or more precisely, its clients - completed the exit back in Q1 2026, but already in April and May, U.S. spot XRP ETFs have continued to post stable inflows of new capital, fully absorbing the departure of a key holder.

According to the latest SoSoValue statistics, net inflows into XRP ETFs reached $60.49 million over the past week alone, including $10.87 million during the latest reporting day. Since the beginning of April, that figure has climbed to $176.3 million.
Moreover, total net assets under management across the funds have reached $1.18 billion, controlling 1.33% of XRP's total market capitalization while the token trades at $1.43.

Such sector autonomy proves that Goldman Sachs' position was purely technical in nature, while the stabilization of organic demand allowed the bank to exit the trade without damaging XRP price action.
