National Bank Canada Discloses XRP and Bitcoin ETF Holdings
Canadian bank National Bank Canada has made its presence known in the crypto market by disclosing positions in both an XRP ETF and several Bitcoin ETFs through a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing, which covers holdings as of June 30, 2026, shows that the bank held 3,848 shares of Bitwise's XRP ETF, worth approximately $330,000. The bank also disclosed Bitcoin ETF exposure through ProShares and Fidelity funds totaling around $6.4 million.
It's essential to note that these are ETF positions, not direct custody of XRP or Bitcoin tokens. This distinction is crucial in understanding the bank's approach to digital assets.
