After Dragonfly Raises $650 Million in New Funding, Haseeb Says 'Crypto Is Not for Humans,' AI Agents Are the Ultimate Users
Dragonfly Capital partner Haseeb Qureshi argues that cryptocurrency was not designed for human use, but rather for AI agents. Despite being a crypto-native firm, Dragonfly still relies on legal contracts over smart contracts due to their human-friendly design and legal enforceability. Traditional financial systems, though flawed, are built for human fallibility, whereas crypto’s complexity, security risks, and lack of intuition make it poorly suited for people.
Qureshi posits that AI agents are the ideal users of crypto: they don’t tire, can verify transactions instantly, audit contracts rigorously, and prefer code-based certainty over the ambiguities of legal systems. Crypto’s deterministic, self-sovereign, and always-on nature aligns perfectly with AI’s operational needs.
He envisions a future where "autopilot" wallets managed by AI handle financial tasks, navigating protocols and negotiating agreements autonomously. This shift will transform how crypto services compete and interact. Early examples, such as AI agents on platforms like Moltbook and Conway Research’s autonomous crypto-earning agents, already demonstrate this trend.
In conclusion, crypto’s perceived flaws are not failures but indications that humans were never the intended users. With AI agents as the primary interface, crypto may finally realize its potential.
