SEI climbs 22% to hit new all-time high after lackluster launch

The SEI cryptocurrency, the native token of the Sei blockchain, hit an all-time high of $0.79 this week after an impressive 70% surge over the past seven days. This surge in price is attributed to several key developments and indicators in the Sei ecosystem.

Based on CryptoSlate data, the price of SEI stood at $0.75414, with a market capitalization of $1.73 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $1.23 billion. The cryptocurrency has experienced a significant increase of 12.45% in the last 24 hours and an impressive growth of 186.27% over the past 30 days​.

Growth drivers

Several factors have contributed to the remarkable growth since its rather lackluster airdrop and launch on exchanges in August 2023. Key among them is the Sei Network’s milestone of processing over 1.1 billion transactions, indicating a growing real-world adoption of the blockchain.

The SEI token is the primary currency for activities on the Sei blockchain, and the network’s expansion and technical achievements are likely driving investor interest.

Technological advancements have also played a crucial role. Sei has achieved a notable technical milestone by reducing its time-to-finality to 390 milliseconds, one of the fastest in blockchain networks.

Sei has also recently implemented internal parallelization of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enhancing the efficiency of decentralized applications on its blockchain.

Partnerships and meme coin fever

Additionally, strategic partnerships and developments like the Atlantic-2 Testnet and the Pacific-1 Mainnet beta launch have further bolstered the network’s credibility​.

Strategic partnerships and endorsements have also played a significant role in driving the price surge. Sei Network recently partnered with entities like Kryptonite and Gecko Terminal to expand its ecosystem.

Additionally, the SEI token has benefited from the recent meme coin fever, with SEIYAN becoming a cult term among SEI token holders. This has helped drive further interest and investment in SEI.

In terms of market performance, SEI has shown remarkable strength, recording a significant number of green days, which indicates robust and sustained demand. The cryptocurrency’s high liquidity and market capitalization make it a favorable choice for traders and investors.
