National Bank Canada Crypto ETF Highlights XRP and Bitcoin Stakes

National Bank of Canada has quietly become the latest traditional lender to show up in crypto’s institutional ledger, disclosing positions in both an XRP ETF and several Bitcoin ETFs through a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The National Bank Canada crypto ETF disclosure, made public in a Form 13F filing covering holdings as of June 30, 2026, gives a rare glimpse into how a major Canadian financial institution is approaching digital assets — not through direct token ownership, but through regulated investment wrappers listed on U.S. exchanges.

Key takeaways

• National Bank of Canada disclosed crypto ETF holdings in a Form 13F filing dated June 30, 2026.
• The bank held 3,848 shares of Bitwise’s XRP ETF, worth roughly $330,000.
• Bitcoin ETF exposure through ProShares and Fidelity funds totaled approximately $6.4 million.
• These are ETF positions, not direct custody of XRP or Bitcoin tokens.
• Bitcoin still dominates the bank’s crypto-linked portfolio, dwarfing its XRP exposure by a wide margin.

The filing shows a bank testing the waters of crypto exposure through familiar, regulated products rather than jumping straight into token ownership. That distinction shapes almost everything about how this disclosure should be read.
