Goldman Sachs CEO Signals Potential for Crypto Trading if Regulations Allow

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon indicated potential developments for the cryptocurrency market, stating the bank would consider trading cryptocurrencies if US regulations allow. Currently, as a regulated institution, Goldman Sachs cannot own cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin directly.

Solomon mentioned at a Reuters Next conference on December 10 that the bank advises clients on various technologies but faces regulatory limitations in acting within these markets.

Goldman Sachs recently reported holding over $700M in eight Bitcoin ETFs as of September 20, 2024, according to its SEC 13F filing. This shift reflects changing corporate attitudes toward cryptocurrencies, with US President-elect Donald Trump also promoting crypto initiatives during his campaign.
