Global financial giant Goldman Sachs revealed its XRP-focused investment strategy in a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company holds positions exceeding $152 million in four different spot XRP ETFs, indicating continued institutional investor interest in XRP.
Institutional Demand Continues
According to the 13F filing dated March 25th, Goldman Sachs maintains its position as the largest institutional investor in XRP ETFs. With total assets exceeding $3.5 trillion, the company holds significant stakes in four separate products offered by different issuers.
Looking at the details, Goldman Sachs holds approximately 2 million shares worth $35.9 million in the 21Shares XRP ETF, $39.8 million in the Bitwise XRP ETF, and $38.4 million in Franklin Templeton's XRPZ product. In addition, Grayscale has approximately $38 million invested in its GXRP ETF. When all these items are combined, the company's total position in XRP ETFs reaches $152.1 million.
This shows that XRP is included in portfolios not only by individual investors but also by large-scale financial institutions. Besides Goldman Sachs, other prominent institutional investors in XRP ETFs include Millennium Management, Citadel Advisors, and Jane Street.
On the other hand, according to Bloomberg data, the company is known to have a similar position size in the last quarter of 2025. However, the current application does not provide a clear picture of whether Goldman Sachs has increased or decreased its position recently. The answer to this question will become clearer with the first quarter (Q1) reports of 2026, which are usually published in mid-May.
ETF flows and price pressure
Looking at the overall picture in spot XRP ETFs, a mixed picture emerges. According to the latest data, there was a limited inflow of approximately $1.26 million into ETFs on Wednesday. All of this inflow came from Bitwise products, while no significant movement was observed in other ETFs.
AUM stands at $995.7 million, while cumulative net inflows have reached $1.21 billion. On the market side, the XRP price declined in line with the general crypto sell-off. Data from the last 24 hours shows the price falling by over 2% to $1.37.
However, a different picture is emerging in the derivatives market. Open interest in XRP futures has increased by 1.6% in recent hours, reaching $2.53 billion. Additionally, Ripple's testing of its RLUSD stablecoin for cross-border payments as part of the BLOOM project with the Singapore Central Bank has also been in the news.
