Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi releases 2026 predictions for crypto and AI trends

Foresight News reported that Dragonfly partner Haseeb Qureshi released his predictions for crypto and AI trends in 2026. He expects bitcoin to possibly surpass $150,000 by the end of the year, but its dominance rate will decline; ethereum and solana will continue to perform strongly, while multiple "Fintech public chains" will fall short of expectations. At least one Big Tech company will launch or acquire a crypto wallet, more Fortune 100 companies will launch blockchains, and Avalanche and the OP ecosystem may benefit. In DeFi, he predicts that perpetual DEXs will consolidate into about three leading platforms, perpetual stock trading may account for over 20%, and there could be a DeFi insider trading scandal. Regarding stablecoins, total supply may grow by 60%, USDT's share may drop to around 55%, and stablecoin card business could grow by 1000%. On the regulatory front, he expects the Clarity Act may pass in 2026; prediction markets will continue to expand strongly; meanwhile, AI will be increasingly applied to development and security, with the number of security incidents possibly rising but individual losses decreasing.
