Goldman Sachs and Institutional XRP Holdings

XRP ETF Impact on Price
The approval and launch of spot XRP ETFs removed a major barrier to institutional investment. Following the ETF launch, XRP reached an all-time high of $3.67 in July 2025. In 2026, ETF inflows continue to provide price support. Analysts at Standard Chartered expect continued institutional demand to underpin XRP price through 2026 and beyond.
