Sei Crypto is ditching the training wheels and is shaping up be one of the standout altcoin plays of the bull market.
In a surprise announcement, native USDC is on the way, and with it, Circle’s CCTP V2 unlocking near-instant transfers across 13 chains for SEI. This is a liquidity power move that puts in the running as a serious DeFi and payments contender. But that’s not all, here are three reasons why SEI crypto could be a standout play for 2025:
1. $600M TVL and Counting: Sei’s Rapid DeFi Expansion
Since early 2024, Sei’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has surged from just $13 million to over $624 million by July 2025. The network is attracting dApps, liquidity providers, and serious attention from DeFi developers.
Moreover, SEI is trading 5x below its ATH yet by almost every metric it has imporved since then. We could be looking at a coin like Sui, or, hopefully, Ethereum, that smashes its previous ATH.

High TVL reflects deep liquidity and real usage. It also sends a message to competitor L1s that Sei isn’t just scaling, it’s dominating in activity growth.
2. Wallet Adoption and Institutional Trust on the Rise
One of Sei’s most underreported success stories is its user growth. Over 266,000 new wallets have been created in the past year, marking a jaw-dropping 31,072% increase. That’s a clear indicator that Sei is resonating with users far beyond early adopters.
Further legitimizing the network is regulatory approval from Japan’s Financial Services Agency, opening the door to institutional flows in a market known for tight oversight.
3. Technical Signals Flash Bullish Momentum for SEI
Lastly, While the token is still clawing back from its $1.15 peak, currently hovering near $0.33, there are bullish signals forming on the charts:
-
Golden Cross confirmed, with the 20-day SMA crossing above the 200-day SMA
-
MACD has flipped bullish, maintaining positive territory
-
Bollinger Bands are widening with price riding the upper band—volatility is back

After multiple retests, $0.28 has established itself as a solid floor for SEI. Price structure is coiling into a rounded base, with early signs of a textbook cup-and-handle.
Final Thoughts: SEI Has Found Its Second Wind
With macro tailwinds building and the Iran ceasefire cooling global tensions, risk-on assets are back in play and SEI is benefiting.
Between booming user growth, regulatory wins, and major stablecoin integrations, Sei is shaping up to be core blockchain infrastructure with 2021 Ethereum or Solana of 2023. You heard it here first.
