These holdings place Goldman Sachs at the center of the XRP ETF market among disclosed investors. The bank’s exposure reflects strong participation in a fund segment that has expanded quickly within months of launch. Meanwhile, the large holder base indicates that institutional capital has continued to invest in the products even when the market has been unstable.

XRP ETF Fund Flows Remain Firm
The inflow trend has continued while crypto prices have moved lower across most of the market.

Still, XRP ETFs have continued to attract capital, indicating that demand for the funds has remained intact during a difficult stretch for digital assets.
The list of ETF issuers includes 21Shares, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Canary Capital and Grayscale. The availability of multiple issuers has increased exposure to the token in exchange-traded products and boosted healthy competition.
