Goldman Sachs plans to acquire NEOS for up to $2.25 billion, a manager of income-focused ETFs with about $30 billion in assets. Three NEOS crypto-related funds had about $1.29 billion in net assets as of August 11 and use exchange-traded products and options rather than holding Bitcoin or Ether directly. A comparable BlackRock product was about $59.0 million, highlighting a wide gap in this niche. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027 and would lift Goldman’s active ETF assets to about $80 billion.
