Dragonfly’s Haseeb Qureshi on 2026 Crypto Predictions: Bitcoin at $150,000

Bitcoin's reaching new heights, but its dominance is slipping. Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi just dropped his 2026 outlook, and it's a mix of bold price targets and structural shifts. He argues that 2026 won't be about hype, but about which platforms actually deliver utility in the real world.

2026 Crypto Predictions: The $150,000 Milestone

Qureshi expects Bitcoin to finish 2026 above $150,000. While that's a massive win for bulls, he notes that Bitcoin's market share will likely shrink as activity on other chains explodes. It's a sign that the broader ecosystem's maturing beyond just being a store of value.

When it comes to infrastructure, established players like Ethereum and Solana are poised to outperform expectations. Qureshi's skeptical of newer, fintech-branded blockchains, suggesting they'll struggle to convert marketing buzz into sustained on-chain engagement.

Corporate Adoption and the Stablecoin Surge

Institutional involvement is hitting a new gear. Qureshi predicts at least one major tech giant will launch or acquire a crypto wallet by 2026. Meanwhile, Fortune 100 firms are expected to deploy blockchain systems for banking, with Avalanche and various rollups leading the charge. Stablecoin supply will also skyrocket, driven by new payment rails that make digital dollars a staple in emerging markets.
