$BTC ETF holdings increased 114% to $1.52 billion, with $1.28 billion in iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and $288 million in Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC).
This move coincides with 41% and 26.3% gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices, signaling growing institutional adoption. Goldman exited positions in Bitwise, WisdomTree and Invesco-Galaxy ETFs, thereby shifting its investment strategy.
Despite cryptocurrencies historically being dismissed as “not a suitable investment,” Goldman’s growing exposure to ETFs and reports of a potential cryptocurrency trading platform suggest a change of stance, reflecting Wall Street’s growing interest in digital assets.
