The crypto market is back in action, and one token making serious noise is Sei (SEI). Over the past few days, the SEI price has caught the attention of traders, analysts, and DeFi enthusiasts alike. With its price rocketing nearly 37% in a single day, Sei is fast becoming one of the hottest narratives in the layer-1 ecosystem. So, what’s really driving the hype around Sei? Is this momentum sustainable, or just another flash in the pan?

What’s Fueling the SEI Price Rally?

In a market waiting for bullish action, SEI has outperformed most top 200 cryptos, with a stunning 30-37% intraday gain. This spike wasn’t random—it came after SEI broke critical technical levels, including moving above its 200-day EMA and signaling a bullish MACD crossover. 

A popular analyst, Michael van de Poppe, shared some insights that SEI price found solid support at $0.185, setting the stage for a potential breakout to $0.3 and beyond. Technicals aside, SEI is also riding high on powerful on-chain momentum. 

On-Chain Activity Hits New High

Sei’s fundamentals have never been so strong!

• Weekly DEX volume crossed $236 million for the first time in history.

• Total Value Locked (TVL) is approaching $1.3 billion, nearly reclaiming its all-time peak

• Stablecoin growth is explosive—USDC supply on SEI surged from $1.2M to over $225M in just three months.

These metrics show real user adoption and DeFi traction, not just speculative trading. The ecosystem is growing fast, and investors are starting to notice. 

Institutional Recognition & The Giga Upgrade Adds Fuel

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has shortlisted Sei for the development of its fiat-backed WYST stablecoin, giving it a serious credibility boost in the U.S. crypto landscape. Besides, the upcoming Giga upgrade is one of the most exciting developments for the SEI blockchain, which is designed to radically improve the network’s performance. 

The upgrade aims to offer a 5+ gigas/sec throughput, Sub-400ms finality and parallel transaction execution. This upgrade positions Sei as one of the fastest and most scalable blockchains in the industry—perfect for high-speed DeFi, AI-based apps, and real-world asset tokenization. 

What’s Next for the SEI Price Rally?

With the momentum on its side, analysts are setting their sights on higher price targets. Immediate resistance lies around $0.3 to $0.36, but if Sei continues to deliver on its tech roadmap and usage metrics, a move toward $0.50 isn’t out of reach.
