Dragonfly Co-Founder and Executive Struggle Goes Public: Both Sides Clash Over Company's Founding and Investment History

2026.02.26 16:04:09

On February 26th, Alexander Pack—Dragonfly co-founder (and now a Hack VC co-founder)—publicly accused Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi of attempting to “rewrite history.” Pack claimed he and his partners founded Dragonfly more than a year before Qureshi joined, and that they led investments in high-profile crypto projects (including Bybit, Amber Group, and Crusoe) while Qureshi was still active in the poker entertainment industry. Qureshi strongly denied the allegations. He stated Dragonfly never led any transactions before his arrival, accusing Pack of mixing up “participating in investments” and “leading investments.” Qureshi added the fund had not yet been fully raised at the time—his team was still fundraising from limited partners (LPs)—and noted that when related media reports (including Forbes announcements) were published, the fund was not fully operational. The public feud quickly caught the crypto investment community’s attention. Controversy centers on Dragonfly’s early positioning, whether it operated as a mother fund, and the firm’s brand and transaction leadership capabilities in its early days. This clash over historical narratives and credit attribution also reflects the intensifying competition and high-stakes personal reputation battles in the crypto venture capital space.

Global bond markets are seeing a sell-off, with panda bond issuance reaching a new record high.

According to CCTV Finance, long-term Treasury yields in major global economies have continued to rise recently, intensifying selling pressure in bond markets. In contrast, China’s bond market and exchange rate have remained relatively stable, with the issuance scale of Panda Bonds hitting a new high for the same period in history. Data shows that as of August 21, the cumulative issuance of Panda Bonds in 2026 reached 209.975 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of over 73%. Against the backdrop of sharp fluctuations in global bond markets, international institutions ramping up onshore RMB financing has drawn attention. Industry insiders noted: “We are in a completely different economic and monetary cycle from overseas. Foreign capital accounts for only around 5%-8% of China’s bond market, with domestic capital holding absolute pricing power. Coupled with our monetary policy that adheres to a ‘focus on our own’ approach, overseas shocks cannot reverse the overall trend of China’s domestic bond market.” Looking ahead, industry insiders believe that overseas bond yields will likely remain highly volatile, highlighting the allocation value of RMB bonds, and foreign capital may continue to increase allocations in the medium to long term. However, it should also be noted that rising U.S. Treasury yields have raised the return threshold for global allocation funds, which may create certain disturbances to overseas institutions’ willingness to increase holdings of RMB bonds. In addition, the rapid rise in bond yields of overseas developed economies may also constrain the valuations of domestic risk assets.

Analyst: Trump’s economic isolation plan could prompt Iran to launch strikes across the Persian Gulf.

Analysts say U.S. President Donald Trump is attempting to achieve a goal that tens of thousands of bombs and missiles failed to reach—forcing Iran to end the war on terms set by the U.S.—through a new round of sanctions, maritime blockades, and intensified economic pressure on Iran’s trading partners. However, this old approach of "forcing Iran to submit" has a fatal flaw: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has effectively controlled the Strait of Hormuz and repeatedly launched large numbers of attack drones toward the Persian Gulf. The IRGC is largely immune to economic pressure and holds ample retaliatory means. A key milestone for the U.S. campaign is Monday, when Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will unveil details of a new plan. The plan aims to shift the conflict from mutual airstrikes in the Middle East to full economic isolation. However, if the new economic pressure actually takes effect, Iran will likely retaliate with military strikes targeting energy facilities along the Persian Gulf, seeking to drive up oil prices, raise the cost of U.S. operations, and force Trump to reverse course again.
