As strong capital inflows from Wall Street into spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs continue, Goldman Sachs has emerged as a major holder, accelerating the integration of digital assets into the institutional financial system.

According to Cointelegraph on March 11 (local time), the global investment bank Goldman Sachs officially confirmed in a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it is a major shareholder in spot Bitcoin ETFs. The firm’s holdings in spot Bitcoin ETFs amount to approximately $1.57 billion, marking a 121.1% surge from the previous quarter. Goldman Sachs has secured substantial stakes in leading products such as BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, demonstrating strong confidence in Bitcoin from traditional financial institutions.

The spot Bitcoin ETF market recently recorded $167 million in net inflows in a single day, serving as a strong buffer against price declines. Since their launch in 2024, spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $147 billion in total assets under management and now hold about 7% of Bitcoin’s total supply, fundamentally reshaping the market’s liquidity structure. Experts project that if the current pace of capital inflows continues, total assets in spot Bitcoin ETFs could reach as much as $220 billion by the end of 2026.

In the XRP market, selling pressure from whale investors that had suppressed prices for months has significantly eased, laying a technical foundation for a rebound. On-chain data shows that the 90-day moving average of XRP whale net outflows has sharply declined from 33.5 million XRP to approximately 3.29 million XRP, indicating that selling pressure has effectively subsided. XRP is currently securing stable support between $1.30 and $1.35, forming a classic double-bottom reversal pattern.

Easing geopolitical tensions have also positively impacted investor sentiment. After U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the conflict with Iran had effectively entered its final stage, oil prices plunged, easing inflation concerns and prompting capital flows into risk assets, including Bitcoin and XRP. Goldman Sachs has diversified its portfolio by investing $1 billion in spot Ethereum (ETH) ETFs and $152 million in XRP-related products in addition to its Bitcoin holdings.

The digital asset market has now moved beyond retail speculation and entered a mature phase in which major institutions like Goldman Sachs are supporting price floors. Bitcoin, facing increasing supply scarcity, and XRP, having shaken off selling pressure, are poised to establish a long-term upward trajectory backed by sustained institutional capital inflows. As institutions expand their cryptocurrency holdings and absorb market volatility, digital assets are solidifying their position as an essential component of the global financial system.
