Goldman Sachs now offering Bitcoin derivatives to investors
Cryptocurrency adoption is slowly entering the banking sector. As a matter of fact, Goldman Sachs is one of the leading banks venturing into the market. The investment bank is now offering Bitcoin derivatives to its investors.
Goldman Sachs offers Bitcoin-related products
Goldman Sachs, one of the leading investment banks in the United States, has begun offering its investors access to non-deliverable forwards (NDFs). An NDF is a normally short-term cash-settled forward contract. The amount is never actually exchanged which is why they are considered non-deliverable. Thus, the NDF is a derivative tied to the price of the leading cryptocurrency paid out in cash.Bloomberg reported that the bank is protecting itself from Bitcoin’s volatility by purchasing and selling BTC futures in block trades on CME Group. In effect, Goldman Sachs is conducting the transactions with the help of Cumberland DRW as its trading partner. Besides that, the report added that Goldman Sachs has yet to be active in the spot market. That said, it started offering the wagers to its clients last month.
Max Minton, Goldman’s Asia-Pacific head of digital assets, told Bloomberg that “Institutional demand continues to grow significantly in this space, and being able to work with partners like Cumberland will help us expand our capabilities. The new offering is paving the way for us to evolve our nascent cash-settled crypto-currency capabilities.”
Goldman Sachs is becoming more involved in the cryptocurrency space following years of traditional banks ignoring the industry. In March, the bank announced that it would offer its wealthy clients access to Bitcoin investment vehicles in the current quarter. Clearly, the company's entry into the forwards market has increased its ability to help big investors take positions.
In addition, Justin Chow, global head of business development for Cumberland DRW, said, “Goldman Sachs serves as a bellwether of how sophisticated, institutional investors approach shifts in the market. We’ve seen rapid adoption and interest in crypto from more traditional financial firms this year, and Goldman’s entrance into the space is yet another sign of how it’s maturing.”
Traditional banks starting to get involved in crypto
Granted, traditional banks are not yet taking major positions in the spot market. That said, they are beginning to offer crypto-related products. In that respect, Goldman Sachs is leading the way in this effort. Indeed, the bank recently led a $15 million funding round for Coin Metrics. This makes it one of the leading investors in the company.Other leading US investment banks such as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are also entering the market. As a result, they are now providing their investors with access to crypto-related products.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
