Dragonfly "Big Tech likely to launch crypto wallets in 2026…Competition intensifies"

Venture capital firm Dragonfly, focused on crypto assets (cryptocurrency), said it expects adoption of blockchain by big tech and global corporations to accelerate around 2026.

On the 30th (local time), according to Cointelegraph, Haseeb Qureshi, Dragonfly's managing partner, said on his X, "In 2026 it is highly likely that at least one big tech company will directly launch or acquire a crypto wallet. This could be an opportunity to bring billions of users into the crypto ecosystem."

Qureshi particularly pointed to a likely scenario in which one of the big tech companies dominating global online ecosystems—Google, Meta, Apple—directly integrates or acquires a crypto wallet. In that case, crypto assets could reach a turning point by being incorporated into mainstream digital services.

He also predicted that Fortune 100 companies will begin to adopt blockchain in earnest. However, he analyzed that the leading sectors are more likely to be financial services such as banks and fintech rather than manufacturing and distribution. Qureshi said that in this process many companies would prefer networks that use infrastructure built on public chains, limited yet connected to public blockchains.

Meanwhile, Qureshi expressed skepticism about strategies by fintech companies to launch their own layer-1 blockchains to compete with public chains like Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL). He said, "There is a high likelihood of failure if they fail to attract enough users and developers."
