Sei Network’s SEI Token Makes Waves with Impressive Trading Debut on Leading Exchanges
The Sei Network, a newly launched layer-1 blockchain, entered its Mainnet beta phase, introducing the SEI token.
Major exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Huobi, and Kraken listed the token on August 15. CoinGecko data revealed a $1.14 billion trading volume on the first day, led by South Korean-based Upbit and Binance. Notably, Upbit’s listing of SEI, although around 4.5 hours after Binance, significantly impacted the token’s price. Upbit contributed over half of the trading volume at $560 million and witnessed SEI trading at a premium compared to other exchanges.
Sei Network, built on Cosmos SDK, caters to high-frequency trading with faster transaction speeds than Solana. The blockchain raised $30 million in strategic funding, valuing it at $800 million. However, SEI’s airdrop claims have not yet commenced, and specific eligibility criteria remain undisclosed. The team anticipates launching over 30 applications on the network.
