Rothschild Investment Discloses Holding in Bitwise XRP ETF Amid Larger Crypto Portfolio

Rothschild Investment's Recent SEC Filing

In a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dated November 10, Rothschild Investment LLC, based in Chicago, reported its investment in the Bitwise XRP ETF. The firm's investment amounted to 6,300 shares, valued at $104,769 as of September 30, 2026. This marks an interesting development since Rothschild did not record any holdings in this particular ETF in its previous quarter, suggesting that this stake was acquired during the third quarter of this year.

About the Bitwise XRP ETF

The Bitwise XRP ETF, denoted by the ticker symbol XRP, was launched in November 2025, providing investors a way to gain exposure to the Ripple-associated cryptocurrency without actually purchasing and managing XRP tokens. Nevertheless, this investment is only a small fraction of Rothschild’s overall portfolio, which is reported at approximately $2.69 billion across 3,644 positions.

Focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum

Rothschild Investment’s cryptocurrency ventures are primarily focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Its most substantial investment lies in the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF managed by BlackRock, with 40,188 shares currently valued around $1.9 million. Additionally, the firm holds significant stakes in various other Bitcoin-related ETFs, including:

• $911,300 in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF
• $335,160 in the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF

These investments sum up to a total of around $3.51 million across seven cryptocurrency investments.

Investments in Ethereum and Other Cryptocurrencies

For Ethereum, Rothschild has investments in:

• Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF worth $538,622
• Bitwise Ethereum ETF at $476,500

The firm also maintains a competitive position in the Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF, with 24,250 shares valued at $615,223, alongside $38,360 in the Grayscale CoinDesk Crypto 5 ETF and $69,900 in a Solana ETF.

Investments in Public Companies

Beyond ETFs, Rothschild Investment has also allocated funds to public companies engaged in the digital asset industry, including:

• $530,763 in strategy assets related to Michael Saylor
• Equity stakes in Coinbase Global valued at $86,681
• Investments in Bitcoin mining firm Riot Platforms at $42,980

Conclusion

Overall, while the firm’s investment in the Bitwise XRP ETF is notable, it remains a minor part of a diversified portfolio heavily weighted towards Bitcoin and Ethereum.
