He made this statement during the World Liberty Forum, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/markets\/2026\/02\/18\/goldman-sachs-david-solomon-says-he-owns-very-little-bitcoin-but-watching-it-closely\">CoinDesk<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The entrepreneur noted that he is closely monitoring the leading cryptocurrency as part of broader changes in financial technology.<\/p>\n<p>While Goldman Sachs maintains a &#8220;cautious approach&#8221; to digital assets, the firm&#8217;s leadership views cryptocurrencies as part of future progress, Solomon added. In his opinion, market evolution is achieved through large-scale technological platforms, with tokenization playing a central role.<\/p>\n<p>He also dismissed the notion that traditional banks and crypto companies are engaged in a battle with no winners. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;It is one system, it is our system.
