The post Goldman Sachs Invests $153M in XRP ETFs  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Goldman Sachs has revealed significant investments in digital assets, holding around $1.1 billion in Bitcoin, $1 billion in Ethereum, $153 million in XRP, and $108 million in Solana. According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, these positions are made through crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) rather than buying the cryptocurrencies directly, a popular choice for large institutions seeking regulated exposure.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Way

Bitcoin is Goldman Sachs’ largest crypto investment. The bank owns 20.7 million shares of BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, worth over $1 billion, along with related options positions. Ethereum follows closely with $1 billion in exposure through similar ETFs.

XRP and Solana Reflect Diversification

For the first time in late 2025, Goldman Sachs invested in XRP and Solana ETFs, showing a move to diversify beyond the top two cryptocurrencies.

  • XRP holdings are roughly $152 million across multiple funds: 21Shares XRP ETF ($36M), Bitwise XRP ETF ($40M), Franklin XRP Trust ($38M), and Grayscale XRP ETF ($38M).
  • Solana exposure totals $108 million, mainly in Bitwise Solana Staking ETF ($45M) and Grayscale Solana Trust ($36M), with smaller positions in Fidelity, VanEck, 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton funds.

Institutional Confidence and Market Strategy

Goldman’s growing crypto investments come as regulators discuss digital asset policies in Washington. Bank representatives recently attended a White House meeting on stablecoin yield rules, and CEO David Solomon is set to speak at the World Liberty Financial Forum. These moves highlight Goldman’s aim to stay active both in markets and policy discussions.

Goldman’s ETF investments happen amid Bitcoin price fluctuations. BTC recently dropped below $70,000 and briefly fell near $60,000 before recovering to about $70,315. Key resistance levels are $71,800 and $74,500, while support levels include $65,650, $63,000, and $60,000. Analysts also watch the $57,800 level as a potential deeper floor.

Goldman Sachs’ increasing digital asset holdings shows that even though Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remain volatile, institutional interest and confidence in the crypto market continue to grow.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
