Qureshi has tipped that Bitcoin will skyrocket 67% and hit the $150,000 threshold in 2026.
Dragonfly Exec Expects BTC To Hit $150K Next Year But Lose Market Share
In a post to X on Tuesday, Haseeb Qureshi shared various predictions regarding the crypto market. The crypto exec forecasted that Bitcoin has the potential to trade at $150,000 by the end of 2026 — at least, despite its shrinking dominance.
Though he didn’t provide specific reasons for the prognosis, the Dragonfly frontman shared that continued regulatory progress in the United States will be a catalyst for the entire crypto market, citing that the Clarity Act will be signed into law next year.
According to Qureshi, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) will increase their dominance in the segment of smart contract platforms for dApps, while the L-1 blockchains built by fintech firms.



 “Despite the excitement around the recent crop of fintech chains, their metrics will underwhelm,” he postulated. “Daily active addresses, stablecoin flows, and RWAs—Tempo, Arc, and Robinhood Chain will underdeliver, while Ethereum and Solana will overdeliver.”
Other Notable Crypto Predictions For 2026
The Dragonfly executive also believes more Fortune Top 100 bigwigs will launch their own blockchain projects, though the sector will become more concentrated, with several leading banks and fintechs dominating. Notably, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and IBM have already built private blockchains — though many of these solutions are still in the testing phase or have only been used in limited ways.
Moreover, he thinks one big tech firm, potentially Google, Facebook, or Apple, will introduce or acquire a crypto wallet in 2026 — a move that could potentially onboard billions of users into crypto.
Meanwhile, Qureshi expects the $311 billion stablecoin industry to grow rapidly. The stablecoin supply will grow by 60% in 2026, with USD-backed tokens still dominating 99%+ of the market. The current market leader, Tether USDT’s, will see its dominance slip slightly from 60% to 55%.
