Goldman Sachs’ latest 13F filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission details roughly $153 million of exposure to XRP-focused exchange-traded products, forming part of a broader $2.36 billion cryptocurrency position.

XRP has recently broken below a long-term ascending trendline and slipped into the $1.30–$1.40 zone, where former support has turned into resistance.

This mix of bearish chart structure and growing institutional allocations leaves XRP at a pivotal point for both traders and longer-term market participants.
