Institutional interest in XRP continues to grow, with Goldman Sachs emerging as the largest disclosed holder of spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by the end of 2025.
According to new data from Bloomberg Intelligence, Goldman Sachs held nearly $154 million worth of spot XRP ETF shares as of December 2025. The figures were shared by Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart, highlighting the bank’s dominant position among institutional investors in the XRP ETF space.
Institutional Investors Enter the XRP Market
Data shows that the top 30 holders of spot XRP ETFs collectively owned around $211 million in shares by the end of 2025. Goldman Sachs accounted for the majority of that total, while other institutional investors held significantly smaller positions.
However, the disclosed figures represent only a portion of the real investor base. Many investors are not required to submit 13F filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are mandatory only for firms managing more than $100 million in qualifying securities.
ETF analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that a large portion of undisclosed investors could be long-term XRP supporters.
XRP ETFs Cross $1 Billion in Inflows
Spot XRP ETFs have gained notable traction in the market. By the end of 2025, these funds attracted more than $1 billion in cumulative inflows, while total assets under management (AUM) reached $1.44 billion.
Several major asset managers have launched XRP ETF products, including:
21SharesBitwise Asset ManagementFranklin Templeton
Among them, 21Shares reported that its spot XRP ETF is currently its most popular altcoin fund, demonstrating strong investor demand.
Ripple’s Vision for XRP
At a recent event, Brad Garlinghouse described XRP as the company’s “North Star,” emphasizing how central the token remains to the strategy of Ripple.
The ETF structure allows investors to gain exposure to XRP’s price movements without directly holding the cryptocurrency, making it an attractive option for institutions and traditional investors.
With a passionate global community and increasing institutional participation, XRP continues to strengthen its position as one of the most closely watched digital assets in the crypto market.
