A growing number of market participants are paying closer attention to the role utility may play in the next phase of crypto adoption.

According to Good Evening Crypto host Abs Nassif, assets with established institutional use cases could eventually separate themselves from the rest of the digital asset market, creating what many investors have long described as a decoupling event.

In a recent post, Nassif highlighted XRP and XLM, pointing to the U.S. CLARITY Act as a potential catalyst for utility-driven growth. He explained why he believes certain digital assets could outperform much of the crypto market over time.

Assets Positioned for a Decoupling Event

During the discussion, Nassif said one of the key questions facing the industry is whether growth will benefit the entire market or primarily a smaller group of projects that secure institutional adoption. He stated that “projects like XRP, like XLM, like HBAR, the ones that see institutional adoption, they’re going to separate from the rest of the crypto market.”

According to Nassif, utility-driven assets could decouple and begin trading on factors tied closely to real-world usage rather than the broader movements of the crypto market.

He argued that XRP, XLM, and HBAR stand out because institutions continue to explore and adopt their underlying technologies. As that process continues, he believes these assets could develop a different growth trajectory from many traditional cryptocurrencies.

XRP’s Utility Narrative Continues to Gain Support

Nassif also pointed to changing investor sentiment as a factor that could support XRP’s long-term performance. He noted that XLM has recently outperformed much of the market, rising from $0.14 to $0.28 after the announcement of a partnership with the DTCC.

At the same time, he referenced veteran trader Peter Brandt’s recent assessment of XRP. Nassif said Brandt views XRP as “the best bet in the crypto market today.” According to Nassif, the reasoning behind that view is XRP’s potential role in global payments. He stated that Brandt believes XRP has “the number one chance of revolutionizing global payments.”

Those comments align with a narrative that has gained traction among investors who view utility and institutional adoption as increasingly important drivers of value in the digital asset sector.

What Nassif’s Comments Mean for XRP

Nassif’s outlook centers on the idea that institutional adoption will become a defining factor for digital asset performance. In his view, assets that secure meaningful enterprise and financial sector usage could attract increasing investor attention.

He believes that the process is already underway. As more investors reach similar conclusions, Nassif expects capital to flow toward projects with established utility.
