Rakuten Discloses XRP ETF Exposure in $6.42M Crypto Portfolio

Rakuten Group has disclosed exposure to XRP through the exchange-traded fund managed by Bitwise. Both Crypto Economy and U.Today report that the Japanese technology conglomerate’s third-quarter institutional filing lists the XRP ETF within a U.S. cryptocurrency investment portfolio.

The portfolio was valued at $6.42 million as of the close of September 2026, according to the two outlets. U.Today identifies the document as Rakuten’s latest 13F filing, while Crypto Economy describes the disclosure as part of the company’s institutional reporting for the third quarter. The supplied coverage does not state how much of the portfolio was allocated specifically to the XRP ETF.

The reports corroborate the core facts: Rakuten held a Bitwise-managed XRP ETF, the position formed part of a larger U.S. crypto ETF portfolio, and that portfolio totaled $6.42 million at the stated reporting date. There is no material numerical disagreement between Crypto Economy and U.Today, although neither outlet’s summary gives the underlying XRP holding size, share count, or purchase price.

The development provides another example of an institutional company using an ETF to gain cryptocurrency exposure rather than disclosing a direct token allocation in the cited filing. Bitwise is identified as the ETF manager, while Rakuten is the holder. The reports focus on Rakuten’s disclosed portfolio position rather than describing the ETF’s structure, fees, or assets.

Market conditions were broadly weak when the data snapshot was taken. XRP traded at $0.990068, falling 1.65% over 24 hours and 15.13% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $62.85 billion. Total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.32 trillion, Bitcoin was down 3.07% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index registered 13, labeled Extreme Fear. Future filings could show whether Rakuten changes or expands its disclosed XRP ETF allocation, although no immediate portfolio adjustment was reported.
