Polymarket Suffers $700K Breach After Internal Admin Wallet is Compromised

Goldman Sachs has quietly stepped out of its XRP ETF exposure, bringing a 
position once valued around $154 million down to zero in the first quarter of 
2026. The move has quickly become a talking point across the XRP community 
because Goldman Sachs was previously one of the largest disclosed 
institutional holders of XRP-linked ETF products. However, the more 
interesting part of the story may not be the exit itself. The more interesting 
part is what happened around the market while that exit was being absorbed. 
Goldman Sachs Cuts XRP ETF Exposure To Zero Goldman Sachs entered the XRP ETF 
market in late 2025 with more conviction than any other institution on Wall 
Street. By the end of Q4 2025, the bank had accumulated about $154 million in 
XRP ETF exposure spread across products from Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin 
Templeton, and 21Shares, making it the holder of nearly 73% of all known 
institutional XRP ETF investments at the time. Related Reading: The Last Time 
Bitcoin Printed This Ugly Candle, It Tanked; Now It Has Returned However, 
Goldman Sachs’ latest Form 13F filing showed no XRP-linked ETF holdings at the 
end of the first quarter of 2026. The filing, which was submitted to the SEC 
in the middle of May, shows that the XRP liquidation was one piece of an 
entire portfolio reset. Goldman also closed out its Solana ETF exposure, 
reduced its Ethereum ETF holdings by about 70%, and trimmed part of its 
Bitcoin ETF exposure, although it still maintained a much larger Bitcoin ETF 
position near $700 million. The Market Absorbed The Sale Without Breaking An 
XRP commentator known as X Finance Bull on the social media platform X pointed 
out that the real signal was not Goldman’s exit, but the ETF market’s reaction 
to it. The point was that if Goldman sold its entire $154 million XRP ETF 
position and XRP ETFs still recorded $60.5 million in weekly net inflows the 
week the news came out, then demand from other buyers had to be strong enough 
to absorb the sale and still leave the market positive. Related Reading: 
Analyst Says Roadmap For Bitcoin To Reach $500,000 Is Complete, Here’s Why A 
large institution exited, but the product did not suffer a visible collapse in 
flow momentum. Instead, Spot XRP ETFs recorded their strongest weekly inflow 
since January, with cumulative inflows reaching about $1.39 billion. Assuming 
the full selloff happened in the same week XRP ETFs still posted net inflows, 
total buying demand would have had to exceed $214 million to absorb Goldman’s 
$154 million exit and still leave the market positive. This is why the sale 
may be more complicated than a bearish headline shows. A big exit only becomes 
damaging if there is not enough demand on the other side. However, in this 
case, the Goldman’s selling pressure was not only absorbed but also overtaken 
by new buying. This points to sustained demand for XRP and gives holders a 
stronger reason to remain confident in their positions despite Goldman’s exit.
