Goldman Sachs exits XRP ETF

Banking giant Goldman Sachs has fully exited its positions in several cryptocurrency-focused ETFs amid subdued performance by the products.

In its latest 13F filing with the U.S. The Securities and Exchange Commission exited its stakes in XRP- and Solana (SOL)-related ETFs. Goldman Sachs liquidated its holdings in multiple XRP-linked ETFs after previously holding roughly $154 million worth of the products in the fourth quarter of 2025.

At the time, the bank was among the largest institutional holders of XRP-related ETFs, with exposure spread across products offered by companies including Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares.

Goldman Sachs' Broader Cryptocurrency Holdings

Despite the reduction in XRP and Solana holdings, the bank continues to maintain significant exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs. Goldman Sachs still holds approximately $690 million in BlackRock's IBIT and around $25 million in FBTC, although both positions declined by about 10% from the previous quarter.

Also, Goldman Sachs cut its holdings in BlackRock's ETHA ETF by roughly 70%, leaving about 7.2 million shares valued at approximately $114 million.

Some Market Focus Shifts to Minotaurus

As Goldman Sachs trims its exposure to XRP-related ETFs, some market participants are also turning their attention toward earlier-stage blockchain projects with utility-driven ecosystems, including Minotaurus (MTAUR) (http://minotaurus.io/insight/ba58b3420c4d4aca9d264a7b94cdcca2), a blockchain gaming project focused on in-game utility.

It is currently in its early stage, around 0.00012759 USDT. The token has already moved up from earlier levels near 0.00004 USDT, showing a strong 3X price surge as interest builds ahead of wider launch events.

At today's price, even a small entry amount like 20 USDT can buy around 156,000 MTAUR tokens. If the token later reaches higher adoption levels, such as 0.012 USDT or 0.12 USDT, that early position could expand significantly in value.

Interest has also been building before the public listing. The project has attracted over 3.21 million USDT in total early deposits, showing rising attention from market participants. Its starting valuation is also relatively small at around 5.6 million USDT, which some see as room for future expansion.

Notably, Minotaurus is built around a gaming ecosystem where MTAUR is used for in-game upgrades, items, and customization. This creates direct utility tied to player activity, rather than relying only on market speculation.

The project has also been audited, with reports noting on-chain verification of presale wallet activity and no outbound transactions during the presale period, adding transparency to early-stage operations.

Conclusion

As Goldman Sachs reduces its exposure to XRP-related ETFs, some market participants are also watching early utility tokens like Minotaurus (MTAUR) for the next major opportunity.

Those interested in exploring the project further, including presale information and upcoming updates, can visit the official Minotaurus website (http://minotaurus.io/insight/ba58b3420c4d4aca9d264a7b94cdcca2) to learn how to buy MTAUR before its wider market launch.
