Goldman Sachs slashed its iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) holdings by 70% in Q1 2026. The bank holds approximately $114 million in remaining ETHA shares. Harvard University’s endowment liquidated its entire ETHA stake during the same quarter. Harvard had only recently acquired the asset in late 2025.
Goldman Sachs also fully exited its positions in XRP and Solana-linked funds. The iShares Ethereum Trust recorded a net redemption of $13.21 million on May 15. These outflows suggest that short-term traders are taking profits amid a broader institutional retreat.
