Recent data shows that Goldman Sachs is the largest disclosed institutional holder of spot XRP EFT’s, and it’s caused a stir in the crypto community with everyone scrambling for an updated XRP price prediction.

The question many are asking is, if an investment powerhouse like Goldman Sachs holds a substantial position in XRP, why isn’t the price moving? While some traders dig deeper for answers, others look elsewhere for better potential returns. 

DeepSnitch AI closes its presale on March 31. Here’s why it’s perfectly positioned for an explosive move upwards.

Goldman Sachs leads XRP ETF holders: What the filings show

Wall Street’s footprint in crypto is undeniable, and only likely to grow. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart revealed that as of December 31, Goldman Sachs held more than $150 million across several spot XRP ETFs. This makes them the largest disclosed institutional holder by a wide margin over Millennium Management at $23 million and Logan Stone Capital at $5.3 million, in 2nd and 3rd place.

It’s important to note that only 15.9% of XRP ETF assets under management appear in 13F filings at all, compared to almost 48.8% for Solana ETFs, which influences the XRP price prediction.

DeepSnitch AI: 31 March launch fast approaching  

Goldman Sachs’s large XRP EFT holdings are a nod of approval for the entire crypto space, not just the XRP price prediction. When a credible investment bank like Goldman Sach’s takes a large position in digital assets, it signals that other institutions, and eventually retail traders, will follow.

This also means crypto markets are about to get significantly more crowded and more competitive, with new projects and tokens vying for investor attention. With this comes a greater risk of diving into a project that looked credible, until it wasn’t. This is exactly what DeepSnitch AI was built for.

You can run any token through it and get an instant contract risk check, whale movement snapshot, and concentrated ownership flag, then a simple verdict before you buy. It sits inside both Telegram and X, so it is easy to integrate into your daily workflow. The more capital that flows into crypto, institutional or otherwise, the more essential a tool like this becomes.

The presale closes March 31. After that, buyers get 7 days to claim tokens and staking rewards before DSNT goes live on Uniswap, with additional DEX and CEX listings to follow. 

At $0.04399, and all bonuses still active, a $10,000 position would get you 227.000 tokens. If the token reaches $1 in value, you’ll be sitting on more than a quarter million dollars. Given the expected adoption by traders worldwide, this is a distinct possibility. 

XRP price prediction: What Goldman Sachs ETF holdings mean for the price

The institutional interest is real, but the price action tells a more complicated story. XRP was trading around $1.40 on March 13, down over 20% year-to-date.

The core issue is that institutional ETF exposure doesn’t automatically translate into price action. Goldman Sachs holding ETF shares means capital flowing into a fund structure, not necessarily direct buying pressure on XRP in the open market. When you look at the technicals, BeInCrypto’s analysis pinpoints $1.27 as critical support for the token. A break below that level opens a path toward $1.11. If we break that level, we could see sub-1 dollar. 

To the upside, near-term XRP price prediction targets sit at about $1.54, with more bullish projections just above $1.60, if macro conditions play their part. As for the long-term outlook for XRP, Ripple’s ongoing global licensing push, including its latest plans to obtain an Australian Financial Services License through the acquisition of BC Payments Australia, continues to strengthen its fundamentals. 

But near-term XRP price prediction remains constrained by broader altcoin market conditions, and it’s tendency to follow Bitcoin’s price.

BNB price prediction: Binance faces fresh DOJ scrutiny

Binance filed a defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, which reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Iran used the world’s largest crypto exchange to move funds in violation of American sanctions, with over $1 billion in crypto transfers under scrutiny. 

Binance said it found no direct transactions with Iran-based entities, that it first learned of the named entities through law enforcement, and that it off-boarded the accounts involved.

The BNB token was trading around $660 on March 13. The technical picture was already under some pressure following a breakdown from the $880–$900 range earlier this year. And now this latest scandal involving the Wall Street Journal and Iran puts BNB at further risk of a drop below $600.

Bottom line: Is XRP a buy, or is DeepSnitch AI a genuine 100X opportunity?

Goldman Sachs topping XRP ETF holders looks good on paper, but it didn’t move the price or the XRP price prediction in 2026 considerably. Meanwhile, Binance is suing a newspaper while operating under a DOJ compliance monitor. While XRP fundamentals remain strong, DeepSnitch AI offers genuine 10X, or even 100X potential, it’s hard to find elsewhere.

The presale closes on March 31; the product is already live and embedded in the platforms where trades happen. With the token priced at $0.04399 and all bonuses still active, it’s one of the most exciting crypto projects today.

FAQs

What is the XRP price target for 2026?

Prediction models are placing the near-term XRP price target at $1.59. If that is breached, the XRP forecast for 2026 ranges from $2.80 to $3-$5 in a very bullish scenario. A break below $1.16 could push XRP’s price to $0.50.

Does Goldman Sachs holding XRP ETFs mean XRP will go up?

It’s a positive signal, but ETF exposure doesn’t automatically translate into buying pressure on the open market. The XRP forecast for 2026 depends more on what Bitcoin does, the overall market conditions, and whether the $1.59 resistance breaks, rather than just ETF accumulation.

Is DeepSnitch AI a good buy while XRP is consolidating?

With XRP’s price range-bound near $.40 and the presale closing March 31, DSNT at $0.04399 offers a great entry point with a confirmed Uniswap launch on the cards. It offers explosive potential and a much different risk profile than waiting for XRP to break out.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
