Why Big Money Is Betting on SEI Network This Cycle

While most altcoins are struggling in the current crypto market, one project has silently outperformed expectations. SEI Network has jumped over 38% in the past 30 days, even as other projects stay flat or lose ground. SEI might just be getting started and AltcoinBuzz explained why it could become the next big thing, much like Solana did in the last cycle.

SEI’s Unique Value Proposition

Launched in August 2023, SEI Network is a fast, low-cost, and scalable blockchain built for trading, DeFi, gaming, and NFTs. It is designed to feel as smooth as using a centralized exchange, but with the benefits of decentralization.

After a rough start with its airdrop, SEI kept building and it’s paying off now. Its transaction finality is 400 milliseconds, placing it among the fastest chains in crypto.

3 Big Reasons Why SEI is Gaining Attention

Institutional Interest is Growing: SEI is turning heads and it is one of just two blockchains shortlisted for Wyoming’s official state stablecoin project, beating out big names like Ethereum, Solana, and Polygon.

On top of that, Circle, the company behind USDC stablecoin, reportedly holds a sizable amount of SEI. And Canary Capital recently filed for a SEI ETF, while Trump-linked World Liberty Financial invested $1 million into SEI, now sitting on an 80% gain.

Ecosystem Growth is Booming: SEI’s ecosystem is expanding fast. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) crossed $600 million, hitting new all-time highs recently. DeFi activity and on-chain volumes are also surging.

Wallet support is increasing too. Crypto wallets like Bitget now support SEI, and with the upcoming switch to full EVM compatibility, popular wallets like MetaMask and Phantom will follow soon.

Massive Tech Upgrade with ‘Giga’: SEI isn’t just growing, it’s also getting faster. Last year, it launched a parallelized EVM, boosting smart contract speed. Now, with the rollout of ‘Giga’, SEI claims it will soon handle up to 250,000 transactions per second (TPS). That’s 50x faster than most EVM chains and even beats Web2 giants like Google in transaction processing.

A new consensus mechanism called ‘Autobahn’ will power this upgrade, pushing to make SEI the most efficient EVM chain ever built.
