The deal would add NEOS\u2019 $30 billion ETF business, including Bitcoin- and Ether-linked income funds, to Goldman Sachs Asset Management.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Goldman Sachs has agreed to acquire exchange-traded fund manager NEOS Investments for up to $2.25 billion, a deal that would add the firm\u2019s Bitcoin- and Ether-linked funds to its growing ETF business.<\/p>\n

NEOS manages $30 billion across 19 options-based income ETFs, including the Bitcoin High Income ETF (BTCI), Boosted Bitcoin High Income ETF (XBCI) and Ethereum High Income ETF (NEHI). The crypto funds use options-based strategies designed to generate monthly income alongside exposure to Bitcoin (BTC) or Ether (ETH).<\/p>\n

The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approval, with NEOS co-founders Troy Cates and Garrett Paolella and the firm\u2019s broader team set to join Goldman Sachs Asset Management.<\/p>\n

Goldman said<\/a> the acquisition, together with its recent purchase of Innovator Capital Management, would bring its global ETF platform to about $130 billion in assets and make it the eighth-largest active ETF manager.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the acquisition as a \u201csemi-shock,\u201d pointing to NEOS\u2019 rapid growth since its 2022 founding and Goldman\u2019s back-to-back acquisitions of NEOS and Innovator.<\/p>\n

The deal comes after Goldman reduced its own disclosed crypto ETF exposure<\/a> in the first quarter, exiting XRP- and Solana-linked funds while trimming positions in Bitcoin and Ether ETFs. The bank still reported more than $700 million in Bitcoin ETF holdings at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n
