Goldman Sachs has emerged as the largest institutional holder of spot XRP exchange-traded fund shares, with nearly $154 million in holdings across multiple XRP ETF products. Despite the sizable institutional exposure, XRP has struggled to move above $1.50 in recent weeks.
Goldman Sachs filed its 13F report with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The latest filings show that 83 institutions reported holdings in XRP ETFs. Together, the top 30 investors hold around $211 million worth of XRP ETF shares.
Among them, Goldman Sachs holds the largest position, with about $154 million in XRP ETF shares, putting it far ahead of other institutions that reported their holdings.
Although Goldman Sachs holds a large position, institutions control only a small part of the total XRP ETF market.
As of now, spot XRP ETFs held roughly $1.21 billion in total assets. The $211 million disclosed through 13F filings represents about 16% of those assets. The remaining 84% of ETF ownership comes from investors who are not required to file 13F reports.
Because of this structure, much of the daily trading activity in XRP ETFs is driven by investors outside the institutional reporting system.
Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas commented that the non-reporting majority of ETF investors is likely dominated by dedicated XRP supporters rather than casual traders.
The token remains central to the strategy of Ripple Labs. At a recent event, Brad Garlinghouse described XRP as the company’s “North Star.”
Despite large institutional exposure through XRP exchange-traded funds, XRP has struggled to move above the $1.50 level for nearly a month.
However, overall market sentiment has weakened due to rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran.
Technical levels show that $1.50 remains a strong resistance zone. If the token breaks above this level with sustained buying pressure, the price could move toward $2.
