The latest round of 13F filings has offered a rare look at how much XRP exposure some of Wall Street's largest names are carrying through exchange-traded funds, with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Jane Street all disclosing positions in XRP-based ETF products.

Form 13F is the quarterly disclosure that U.S. institutional managers overseeing at least $100 million in qualifying securities must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and because ETFs count as reportable securities, XRP funds now show up in the same paperwork as ordinary equities. With U.S.-listed XRP ETFs having only begun trading in 2025, each quarterly round has become one of the few public windows into institutional ownership of the token through regulated wrappers — and the forms are due within 45 days of each quarter's end, which is why this wave of disclosures landed in mid-August.

Morgan Stanley's Confirmed but Modest Stake

Morgan Stanley, a $2 trillion banking giant, disclosed holdings spread across a variety of XRP-based exchange-traded funds, including products from Franklin, REX-Osprey and Bitwise.

The filing was flagged on X (formerly Twitter) on August 14, 2026:

While the positions are confirmed in Wall Street's own regulatory paperwork, Morgan Stanley's XRP-linked holdings are quite small when weighed against its overall portfolio and against the disclosures of some smaller enterprises. It is not the bank's first crypto exposure to surface this way: Morgan Stanley previously appeared in 13F rounds for spot Bitcoin ETFs after those products launched in January 2024, and XRP funds are the latest to turn up in the same quarterly paperwork.

Two Wall Street Giants Take the Lion's Share

Jane Street has drawn considerable attention after revealing its 13F long equity portfolio. The trading firm reported 1.2 million shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF, cumulatively worth more than $14.20 million at the current market value of XRP. The asset manager also holds smaller portions of XRP scattered across different ETF products, including those from Franklin, Grayscale, Canary and 21Shares.

Jane Street is known for generating exceptionally high trading revenue. The firm booked $39.6 billion in trading revenue in 2025 — a Wall Street record that topped major banks — and has surpassed $40 billion year-to-date through mid-2026, even after a reported loss of roughly $15 billion in July 2026. The firm is also one of the largest market makers in U.S.-listed ETFs, a role that routinely puts fund shares on its books.

Beyond Jane Street, Goldman Sachs is another Wall Street giant with disclosed XRP exposure. The multinational custody heavyweight freshly disclosed roughly $25.8 million in XRP-linked assets in the form of crypto ETFs.

Snapshots, Not the Full Picture

Taken together, the filings show that Morgan Stanley's stake is real but modest relative to its overall portfolio and the larger reported holdings, while smaller-cap firms such as Jane Street continue to post intense trading activity and substantial revenues.

One caveat bears repeating: 13F filings are snapshots taken as of quarter-end. They do not show subsequent changes to positions, nor do they capture the full picture of market-making activity — and for firms that trade ETFs at Jane Street's scale, shares on the books can reflect market-making inventory as readily as directional positioning, a distinction the form itself does not resolve. The next quarterly round of filings will show how these positions moved in the interim.
