New Strategy: Focus on XRP and Solana
Despite the reduction in investments in the largest cryptocurrencies, Goldman Sachs has entered the ETF market related to XRP and Solana. By the end of 2025, the bank had formed a portfolio in XRP ETFs worth $152.2 million, as well as in Solana ETFs worth $108.9 million.
“At the beginning of 2025, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated that he considers Bitcoin speculative and does not view the asset as a threat to the stability of the U.S. dollar.”
He also emphasized at that time that the bank does not have the ability to hold or manage the first cryptocurrency due to existing regulatory restrictions.
