Morgan Stanley and Sanctuary Advisors Report Significant Institutional XRP Holdings
The institutional investment in XRP has been on the rise, with Morgan Stanley and Sanctuary Advisors reporting significant holdings. According to recent filings, Morgan Stanley disclosed XRP ETF positions across three products: the Franklin XRP ETF, REX-Osprey, and Bitwise. The reported amounts total 6,715 Franklin XRP ETF shares, as well as 255 REX-Osprey shares and 67 Bitwise shares.
The filings show that these holdings provide a regulated channel for institutional market access, allowing investors to gain exposure to XRP through established financial structures. This format can fit existing custody, reporting, and portfolio-management systems, making it an attractive option for institutions.
However, it's essential to note that the 13F reports only disclose historical holdings, not current ownership. Therefore, these disclosures confirm exposure during the reported period, rather than current possession. The total amount of XRP held by Morgan Stanley remains relatively small compared to its wider investment operations.
