We’re pleased to announce that Crypto Insights Group (CIG) is featured in The Alternative Investor’s January 2026 issue, a leading publication covering hedge funds, private markets and emerging real-asset strategies.
Inside our contribution
Our own Vin Molino, COO & Head of Operational Due Diligence, authored the guest article “Crypto's Utility Moment Has Arrived, Driving Future Value”
Drawing on his experience allocating to and diligencing hundreds of investment strategies over two decades, with a focus exclusively on digital assets in recent years, Vin outlines how crypto’s shift from speculation to utility is reshaping institutional opportunity:
- Where real economic utility is emerging across payments, stablecoins, tokenized assets, and on-chain financial infrastructure, and why this matters more than short term price action.
- How capital formation in 2025 laid the groundwork for scalable, institutional grade crypto use cases in 2026, from stablecoin settlement to DeFi based yield and liquidity structures.
- Why the next phase of crypto value creation favors operators, curators, and allocators who focus on risk management, benchmarks, and operational design rather than narratives.
As Vin notes, “Speculation funded the infrastructure, but utility is what ultimately compounds value.”
