Cryptocurrency News Tracks Canadian Bank Crypto Holdings While Pepeto Burns Toward Binance Listing

The cryptocurrency news cycle just added a sovereign signal. National Bank of Canada, the sixth largest commercial bank in Canada, revealed in a 13F filing that it holds $6.98 million in crypto ETF positions, including 3,848 shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF worth roughly $330,000 and approximately $6.4 million across ProShares and Fidelity Bitcoin funds.

When a national bank files paperwork to hold crypto through regulated wrappers, the thesis that digital assets belong in serious portfolios stops being speculation and becomes policy. While the cryptocurrency news maps institutional adoption, a $10.6 million presale is capturing capital that institutions will eventually chase at higher prices. Pepeto

is that presale.

National Bank of Canada Files $6.98M in Crypto ETF Holdings

The 13F filing covers holdings as of June 30, 2026, and the distinction matters. National Bank is using ETFs and regulated products to gain exposure, a path that fits crypto into existing compliance systems.

The filing landed alongside Grayscale's disclosure of $180.78 million in XRP sales during the first half of 2026, roughly 103 million XRP sold to meet redemptions. Institutions are arriving cautiously, through products that settle like securities, and the fastest capital is flowing to presale entries where return math does not require a trillion dollar valuation to move.
