Goldman Sachs to Acquire Crypto-Focused ETF Manager NEOS for $2.25B
GS sits 47% above its 52-week low of $705.55.
Summary
Goldman Sachs is buying NEOS Investments for up to $2.25B, adding $30B in options-based income ETFs including Bitcoin and Ether funds. The deal, expected to close Q1 2027, follows the recent Innovator Capital Management purchase and would lift Goldman's ETF platform to about $130B, making it the eighth-largest active ETF manager. This is a significant expansion into crypto-linked income products, a fast-growing segment. The acquisition signals a strategic push into active ETFs despite Goldman trimming its own crypto ETF holdings earlier this year. Watch for regulatory approval and integration details.
