The Q3 2026 13F filing season has produced several surprises. As Wall Street’s participation in digital asset management has grown, the XRP ranking among major holders has shifted, and some large institutions used XRP’s weakness around the $1 level to add exposure. For readers tracking the institutional side of crypto, 13F snapshots offer one of the few recurring ways to see how large firms are positioning across ETF products after the fact.
Goldman Sachs has made several sharp changes in its XRP positioning over the past few years. In 2025, Goldman Sachs briefly became the largest XRP holder on Wall Street, with $153 million of exposure to various XRP ETFs. That changed dramatically in Q1 2026, when the firm disclosed no XRP exposure at all.
How Goldman Sachs Turned The Tables
That picture changed again during XRP’s recent pullback, as Goldman Sachs steadily accumulated XRP between the $1.25 and $1 range. According to the June 30, 2026 snapshot, the firm’s $87 million XRP position was built during the period from April 1 to June 30, 2026.

It took Goldman Sachs less than three months to regain the XRP crown, marking an $83 million increase from Q1 2026. Although several well-known Wall Street firms also increased their holdings, none came close to Goldman Sachs in size.

Jane Street and Millennium Management LLC together hold about $33.5 million, according to the balance sheet. Intesa Sanpaolo, Marex, IronBridge and Kaleidoscope Capital follow, with figures that match the combined Jane Street and Millennium total. The spread across multiple firms suggests institutional interest in XRP exposure is not confined to a single buyer, even if Goldman Sachs remains the largest disclosed holder in this filing.
Goldman Sachs’ basket spans about five ETF products: Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares and Grayscale. The firm also holds another $3.8 million in Evernorth Holdings, a treasury company backed by Ripple, SBI and Kraken.
Stable Inflows Seek One More Catalyst
Collectively, the Ripple coin-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have now surpassed $1.44 billion after 11 consecutive days of inflows. The streak came days after the crypto summit at the White House, which cemented presidential support for key crypto legislation, including the CLARITY Act.
Whether that is enough to advance the landmark crypto bill this year remains to be seen. Crypto market participants will likely reassess their expectations for the CLARITY Act in mid-September, when the Senate returns to work. Until then, XRP’s price is likely to remain in a narrow range between $1.3 and $1.5.
