Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs has made a notable shift in its crypto-related 
exchange-traded (ETF) fund positions, according to a recent filing submitted 
to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The update shows the firm 
exiting XRP- and Solana (SOL)-linked ETF exposure, while also trimming its 
Ethereum (ETH) ETF holdings. At the same time, the filing shows it opened a 
new position tied to one of the largest decentralized exchanges (DEXs). 
Goldman Sachs Exits XRP And Solana ETFs The story starts with Goldman’s XRP 
ETF exposure going into the end of Q4 2025. At that point, the bank held 
nearly $154 million worth of XRP-related ETFs from issuers including Bitwise, 
Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and 21Shares. Those holdings made Goldman Sachs 
one of the largest institutional holders of XRP ETF products at the time. The 
latest SEC disclosure, however, shows that its XRP ETF positions were removed 
entirely, reflecting a full exit during the first quarter. Related Reading: 
Hyperliquid (HYPE) To $100? Expert Forecasts Major Rise Before Summer 2027 A 
similar change appears with Solana-linked products. Goldman Sachs had 
previously disclosed that it held exposure across multiple Solana investment 
products, including the Grayscale Solana Trust ETF, the Bitwise Solana Staking 
ETF, and the Fidelity Solana Fund. However, just like XRP, those Solana- 
related ETF positions also disappeared in Goldman’s Q1 filing. In other words, 
Goldman fully exited both XRP- and Solana-linked ETF holdings by the first 
quarter of 2026, with no remaining trace of those positions in the updated 
portfolio disclosure. Even with these exits, Goldman Sachs did not leave the 
crypto ETF space entirely. The firm still held roughly $700 million in Bitcoin 
ETFs. Still, its posture toward Ethereum was more cautious: Goldman cut its 
Ethereum ETF exposure by about 70%, bringing the total down to approximately 
$114 million. New Bet On Hyperliquid What makes the change more interesting is 
that Goldman Sachs appears to be redeploying at least some of that capital 
into other parts of the crypto market. Alongside the ETF reductions and exits, 
the bank opened a new position tied to Hyperliquid (HYPE). According to the 
filing, Goldman acquired roughly 654,630 shares of Hyperliquid Strategies 
(PURR), valued at about $3.3 million. Related Reading: Zcash (ZEC) Rockets

Goldman Sachs&#8217; trading activity also shows a new wave of exposure across 
several crypto-linked equities. The bank increased positions in Circle (CRCL), 
Galaxy (GLXY), and Coinbase (COIN) shares. At the time of writing, 
Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, was trading at around $45. It has been one 
of the best-performing tokens over the past month, with gains of 10% in the 
last two weeks alone. Featured image created with OpenArt, chart from
