Goldman Sachs Acquires Innovator Capital to Expand Crypto-Linked ETF Offerings
Goldman Sachs has agreed to acquire Innovator Capital Management in a $2 billion deal, signaling a strategic push into outcome-oriented ETFs and digital asset products. The transaction, expected to close by Q2 2026 pending approvals, will integrate Innovator's defined-outcome strategies with Goldman's asset management division.
The move accelerates Wall Street's embrace of structured crypto investment vehicles. By absorbing Innovator's specialized ETF platform, Goldman gains tools to engineer precise return ranges—a capability increasingly demanded in volatile digital asset markets.
