Summary

At the Avalanche Summit, the subject is the collision of AI and crypto. Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at Dragonfly, lays out three paths for AI: chaos, centralization, or alignment. He argues government restrictions will only accelerate once a real catastrophe hits, like an AI agent breaching a power or water plant. That is the trigger for a regulatory crackdown. The CLARITY Act failed, and Qureshi points to the Iran war and Trump's slipping approval as the cause beneath the cause. An ethics provision became a political football. He argues regulation will not stop China or Europe. AI's politicized moment is framed as a question of hoax or existential risk. Dragonfly backed Venice.AI. A DeFi insider-trading scandal is also addressed. Qureshi's CLARITY bet did not pay off. His earlier crypto calls are also revisited. The three AI paths are the core framework. The AI and crypto collision is the central subject.
