The move comes amid broader <span>volatility<\/span> across <span>crypto<\/span> markets during the quarter and signals a more selective institutional approach toward digital asset exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Ether-linked investments also saw a major reduction. Goldman cut its ether ETF holdings by approximately 70%, leaving the bank with around $114 million in exposure by the end of March.<\/p>\n<p>The filing did not indicate a complete retreat from digital assets, however. <span>Bitcoin<\/span> remained the bank\u2019s dominant <span>crypto<\/span> allocation, with holdings in spot <span>bitcoin ETFs<\/span> totaling roughly $700 million at quarter-end.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio adjustments suggest Goldman may be consolidating exposure around <span>bitcoin<\/span> while scaling back positions tied to alternative digital assets. <span>Bitcoin<\/span> continued to outperform much of the broader <span>crypto<\/span> market during periods of <span>volatility<\/span> earlier this year, reinforcing its status as the primary institutional entry point into the sector.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Goldman increased its stakes in several crypto-related equities, signaling continued confidence in parts of the industry\u2019s infrastructure layer.<\/p>\n<p>The bank expanded positions in Circle, Galaxy Digital, and Coinbase. The additions point to growing institutional interest in companies tied to trading infrastructure, <span>stablecoin<\/span> adoption, and blockchain-based financial services.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Goldman reduced holdings in several firms more directly tied to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypto<\/a> market cycles and mining operations. The bank trimmed exposure to Strategy, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a> mining-related companies including IREN, Bit Digital, and Riot Platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman\u2019s filing reflects how major financial firms are increasingly treating digital assets as part of broader portfolio allocation strategies rather than speculative standalone bets. Instead of broad-based exposure across multiple tokens, institutions appear to be concentrating capital in assets and companies viewed as more durable during periods of market uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>The bank\u2019s continued commitment to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-Bitcoin-ETF\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin ETFs<\/a>, despite reductions elsewhere, reinforces the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cryptocurrency<\/a>\u2019s growing role as the institutional benchmark asset within digital markets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/goldman-sachs-exits-xrp-and-solana-etfs-as-bitcoin-holdings-reach-700m\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Goldman Sachs exited XRP and solana ETFs, cutting ether exposure by 70% in Q1.
