Italy\'s Intesa Sanpaolo cuts SOL, adds ETH and XRP in crypto rebalancing
Italy\'s largest bank Intesa Sanpaolo more than doubled its cryptocurrency-related holdings in the first quarter. Its crypto exposure rose to about $235 million as of March 31 from about $100 million at the end of 2025. The bank increased holdings of spot bitcoin ETFs, added ether and XRP via trust products, and sharply reduced a Solana staking ETF position. It also began derivatives trading with a new call option position tied to a bitcoin trust.
