SEI Overview

Though it is an Ethereum competitor launched in Aug. 2023, SEI is compatible with the ETH ecosystem using the EVM. Moreover, it is custom-built with special integrations to support decentralized exchange (DEX) formats.

Built on the Cosmos Tendermint platform to secure records using a Delegated Proof of Stake method, SEI is a super fast system for blockchain settlement.

SEI Tokens At A Glance

The Sei economy has a limited supply hard-capped at 10 billion. However, new tokens continue to enter the market with the current circulating supply just south of 6 billion.

So token scarcity is a support factor in its price growth, similar to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin.

Over the past 30 days, the cryptocurrency is up by more than 111%, making it one of the best performers from the top 100 coins by means of total market capitalization.

Meanwhile, Ethereum prices posted 20% returns over the past seven days and around 42% for the 30-day window, with a surge in leveraged trading.

3 Bullish Signs That SEI Could Outperform ETH in Q3

1. Bullish SEI Price Technical Markers In July

Sei’s technical setup on the price chart is promising in July. The graph appears to be forming a 5-month cup and handle pattern with the left side starting on Jan. 30 and completing on Jun. 24. Cup and handle patterns often signal a rally.

Last week, the handle formed and launched into a bullish test of the Jan. 30 price level around $0.34. This pattern shows enough visible indicators from SEI price lows on 2/6, 3/11, 4/8, and 6/17 for recognition on the chart.

Meanwhile, daily trading volume has generated significant interest in SEI tokens, with a peak trading volume nearing $1 billion on 6/23.

The altcoin erupted from $0.1776 per token to over $1.04, realizing a 511% ROI within months.

2. SEI Integrates USDC Stablecoin To +22% Pump

A key reason for the increase in SEI ROI is its integration of the Circle stablecoin, USDC. SEI is a Layer-1 blockchain currency and Ethereum rival for smart contract development and decentralized finance (DeFi).

The addition of USDC, a stablecoin with a $60 billion market cap, excites SEI bulls and opens liquidity channels, making the platform more appealing to institutional investors.

Following the USDC integration announcement, SEI’s price surged 22% in 24 hours.

3. Strong SEI Fundamentals in Q3 2025

SEI bulls are touting it as the next DeFi project to deliver significant gains akin to Solana’s in 2024.
