Dragonfly partner sees stablecoin-powered payment cards as a major crypto trend in 2026

In 2026, Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi expects stablecoin payment cards to become a major theme in global crypto adoption, following Rain's $250 million funding round that valued the firm near $2 billion. Rain has rapidly expanded its stablecoin card base and payment volumes while supporting assets like USDT and USDC across multiple blockchains. Analysts project that stablecoin transaction volumes could reach tens of trillions of dollars by 2030, though some investors remain skeptical about their impact in developed markets.
