Clear Creek Financial Management, a Wall Street advisory firm with more than $1.5 billion in assets under management, has disclosed its crypto ETF holdings in a regulatory filing. The firm's Form 13F, submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, shows exposure to exchange-traded funds tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana. It's a concrete sign that traditional money managers are treating digital assets as a standard part of the portfolio toolkit.
The 13F filing
Form 13F is a quarterly report that institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in equity assets must file. It lists their U.S.-listed stock holdings, including ETFs. Clear Creek's filing covers the period ended June 30, 2026. The document doesn't reveal exact share counts or dollar amounts for each ETF, but the inclusion of crypto funds is the headline. The SEC made the filing public this week.
What they hold
Clear Creek's crypto ETF lineup spans four of the largest digital assets by market cap. The firm holds ETFs tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum, the two most established cryptocurrencies. It also holds funds tied to XRP and Solana — both of which only got SEC-approved ETFs earlier this year. That's a broader bet than many institutional filings show. Most advisors stick to just BTC and ETH. Adding XRP and SOL suggests Clear Creek sees value in diversifying across the crypto ecosystem.
Clear Creek isn't a crypto-native shop. It's a Wall Street investment advisor with a traditional client base. When a firm like this files a 13F with crypto ETFs, it tells you the product category has crossed into mainstream advisory. The $1.5 billion AUM figure isn't huge by institutional standards, but the disclosure is a data point that regulators and competitors notice. It also puts pressure on other advisors to explain why they aren't doing the same.
The next round of 13F filings is due by November 15, 2026. That's when the market will see if Clear Creek added to its crypto positions or trimmed them. For now, the filing is a snapshot — a single quarter's worth of conviction. But it's one more brick in the wall of institutional adoption.
