XRP is poised to decouple from Bitcoin as it transitions from a speculative asset to a key infrastructure layer, according to analyst Arthur. The introduction of Ripple Prime and Palisade, alongside anticipated XRP ETFs, enables institutions to engage with XRP independently of Bitcoin. This shift is bolstered by regulatory clarity in the U.S. and Ripple's strategic acquisitions. Arthur notes that while XRP still shows correlation with Bitcoin, institutional demand is creating a new growth trajectory. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse echoes this sentiment, highlighting the divergence between speculative assets and scalable blockchain infrastructure as a significant trend in the market.
