Rothschild Investment Reveals Stake in Bitwise XRP ETF

Rothschild Investment Enters the XRP ETF Market

Chicago-based investment management firm Rothschild Investment LLC has officially disclosed a new position in the Bitwise XRP ETF.

The firm revealed the investment in its latest Form 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 10, 2026.

According to the filing, Rothschild Investment acquired 6,300 shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF during the third quarter of 2026.

As of September 30, 2026, those shares were valued at $104,769. The investment is officially listed under CUSIP number 09174F107.

Understanding Form 13F and the Bitwise XRP ETF

A Form 13F is a quarterly report required by the SEC. Institutional managers overseeing at least $100 million in qualifying assets must file it.

These public filings show what institutional investors bought or sold during the previous quarter.

Rothschild Investment held zero shares of the XRP ETF in its previous quarterly report. This confirms the firm established the position between July and September 2026.

The Bitwise XRP ETF, listed under the ticker XRP, was introduced in November 2025.

This ETF allows traditional investors to gain exposure to the RippleXRP-2.57%-linked cryptocurrency without buying or storing actual XRP tokens.

Putting the XRP Investment in Perspective

Adding an XRP ETF marks a new step for the firm. However, it represents a tiny fraction of Rothschild Investment's overall portfolio.

The firm manages around $2.69 billion in 13F-reportable holdings spread across 3,644 positions.

Compared to its total portfolio, the $104,769 investment in the XRP ETF is relatively small.
