Goldman Sachs Bets on XRP: $153M Holdings Revealed in Q4 Filing

Goldman Sachs revealed substantial exposure to cryptocurrency, disclosing holdings of over $2.36 billion in digital assets in its Q4 2025 13F filing. According to the filing, $11 billion of its reported investment portfolio is in Bitcoin, $10 billion in Ethereum, $153 million in XRP, and $108 million in Solana.

 

The disclosure puts Goldman among the largest US banks most exposed to crypto-linked assets, worth a small portion of total holdings. A closer examination of the document reveals that Goldman’s exposure to XRP is primarily through XRP exchange-traded funds, which are worth about $152 million.

The total net assets of US Spot XRP ETFs are currently over $1.04 billion. After 56 days of trading, there have only been 4 days of outflows from XRP ETFs. One of the most significant investment banks in the world, Goldman Sachs counsels governments and businesses on capital markets, mergers, and restructuring.

 

Goldman had previously expressed skepticism about Bitcoin. Its research teams and executives characterized Bitcoin as a speculative asset with no inherent cash flows and little use as money. The company constantly highlighted volatility and regulatory risk while framing cryptocurrency as inappropriate for conservative portfolios.

In addition to expanding access to derivatives and resuming its cryptocurrency trading desk, Goldman produced research that acknowledged Bitcoin’s potential as an inflation hedge but refrained from recommending it as a core asset class. The company once more emphasized counterparty and infrastructure risks after the 2022 crypto winter.

Goldman has moved toward cautious participation in more recent times. While insisting that cryptocurrency is still speculative, it has participated through ETFs, structured products, and tokenization initiatives.

Ripple’s XRP Ignores the Bloodbath, ETFs Inflow Strong, Price Stuck at $1.42

XRP spot ETFs saw net inflows of $39 million during the last week, despite the massive losses in the broader cryptocurrency market. Capital pulled out of Bitcoin and Ethereum products during one of the year’s most aggressive risk-off periods, which coincided with the inflows.

 

Ethereum ETFs lost about $166 million during the week, while Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $318 million. It is significant to remember that the only significant asset with consistent inflows was XRP. Bitwise’s XRP ETF was the most popular. Canary’s XRPC brought in $2.93 million, while Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ added $3.94 million with $8.29 million in daily inflows.

The inflows followed the token’s nearly 70% decline from its most recent peak, which made it the worst-performing cryptocurrency among the top 100 during the correction. Since then, XRP has leveled off at around $1.42.

The fact that XRP is trading below the descending channel, as indicated by the chart, confirms a breakdown and strengthens the overall bearish trend. Any upside is likely to encounter resistance close to the lower boundary of the descending channel, even though there may be a brief relief bounce. The MACD is still negative, and the RSI is getting close to oversold territory.

A relief bounce might be triggered by a successful hold above the $1.35–$1.40 support zone. A break above the declining channel could allow for a move toward $2.30-$2.60, where strong resistance previously formed, even though the initial upside targets are located close to $1.80-$2.

 

 

Ripple: XRP Record Oversold Signals Clash with $1.4 Resistance – Bounce or Bust?

The Ripple-based token is struggling above $1.43 in the crypto market.

XRP is currently in one of those tense times when technical signals subtly attract increasing attention while fear rules the mood. Market analyst STEPH IS CRYPTO drew attention to this peculiar setup, highlighting uncommon momentum conditions that traders usually associate with significant turning points.

His observation coincides with the extreme weakness shown by XRP’s higher-timeframe indicators, raising the possibility that selling pressure may be exhausted

Although it does not ensure a rally right away, an oversold signal indicates that the downward momentum has extended past typical limits. On XRP’s weekly chart, the Relative Strength Index has fallen to levels uncommon outside of bear market bottoms. In previous cycles, similar readings were found close to notable lows that, once buyers returned to the market, resulted in robust recoveries

These historical comparisons are important. Rather than representing normal volatility because long-term indicators are more significant than short-term fluctuations, weekly momentum extremes typically indicate deep capitulation among traders. Even if price action is short-term unstable, that environment can lay the groundwork for stabilization and eventual reversal.

A complete trend reversal has not yet been confirmed by XRP, despite the positive indication. Before analysts can declare a sustained recovery, the price needs to reclaim significant resistance levels and set regular higher lows.

Strategy Stock Surges 33% as Bitcoin Flips Green in Dramatic Rebound

Strategy experienced a significant rally,  reaching +33 percent.  Bitcoin “flipped green” and experienced a sharp recovery, rising as much as ~$70,188 intraday and bouncing ~10 percent in a single day from lows of l$60,000.

Bitcoin is experiencing severe selling pressure right now.
Some analysts maintained their bullish outlook and set high price targets, arguing against the forced sale of Bitcoin ($440 for MSTR) and stating that the company is “better positioned than ever” for recovery through its treasury strategy, capital raises, and instruments like STRC (a preferred stock instrument).

US stock markets experienced a robust recovery following recent heavy selling, fueled in part by a recovery in technology stocks and a stabilization/rebound in Bitcoin (often referred to as “turning green” when charts display gains or positive/upward movement).

Recently, strategy has been under a lot of pressure. It reported a massive Q4 net loss of about $12.4 billion, mostly due to unrealized Bitcoin declines under fair-value accounting. Additionally, its stock has dropped significantly from its 2025 peaks overall, trading near $100 to $110 levels after drops of more than 70% from highs.

The February 6 rally was not a reversal of the overall downward trend, but rather a bounce amidst Bitcoin’s ongoing volatility. Bitcoin had dropped in recent days and weeks, falling toward $60,000 (its lowest since late 2024).

However, on February 6, it recovered sharply, rising back above $70,000 at points (up about 10% intraday in some reports, recovering from lows near $60k–$63k)

Associated stocks rose because of Bitcoin’s recovery.  Strategy (MSTR) because of its substantial holdings (roughly 713,502 BTC as of early February, purchased at an average of about $76,000 per coin), which functions as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin, saw a notable increase during the session.
