On February 11, crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that Goldman Sachs disclosed approximately $2.36 billion in crypto-related exposure in its 2025 Q4 13F filing, including about $1.1 billion in BTC, $1 billion in ETH, $153 million in XRP, and $108 million in SOL, representing roughly 0.33% of its overall portfolio.

Notably, the exposure was not obtained through direct spot purchases, but indirectly via approved ETF products, reflecting institutional preference for regulated market access and structured risk management frameworks when entering the crypto sector.

As institutional capital continues to flow into digital assets, compliance oversight and on-chain risk monitoring requirements are increasing simultaneously. Some institutions have adopted Trustformer KYT and similar monitoring systems to track fund sources, transaction paths, and high-risk addresses, enhancing portfolio security and regulatory due diligence.

Additionally, Goldman Sachs representatives participated in a White House policy discussion on stablecoin yield definitions. CEO David Solomon is scheduled to speak at the upcoming WLFI Forum in Palm Beach, underscoring continued traditional finance engagement with digital assets and stablecoin regulation.
