Sei Network is once again in the news as the platform unlocks several major opportunities this week, right from Wyongming’s WYST stablecoin launch, gaining traction in the agentic AI economy, exploring GameFi industry, and more.
As a result, the native cryptocurrency SEI price has surged by 10% in the last 24 hours, with daily trading volume shooting up 106% to $427 million, along with its market cap surging past $1.2 billion. Let’s take a look at the four reasons why Sei blockchain network is trending.
Wyoming has named Sei Network as one of two finalists for the rollout of its WYST stablecoin, set to launch in July using LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard. While other platforms like Aptos, Ethereum, and Solana were considered, Sei’s inclusion renewed optimism within the community and its recognition of big projects.
Sei’s proven performance and compliance history were key factors in its selection for this pilot initiative. The LayerZero integration will enable WYST to operate seamlessly across multiple chains. Thus, it will also cater to the increasing demand for cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure.
The Sei blockchain network seeks to become the VISA of agentic AI payment systems while catering to the micro-payment demands, through its Sei Giga infrastructure that offers instant and seamless settlements.
The AI agent economy is projected to grow into a $200 billion market. However, one missing piece in the puzzle is the development of efficient payment rails for agent-to-agent transactions at machine speed.
Traditional payment systems, with their percentage-based fees, fall short of supporting this vision. Sei Network addresses this gap with ultra-low transaction costs, measured in fractions of a cent, making AI-to-AI micropayments feasible.
Sei’s architecture is also compatible with emerging protocols such as Coinbase’s x402, which enables AI agents to execute autonomous HTTP-based payments seamlessly.
Sei Network has overtaken opBNB to claim the leading position in Web3 gaming, recording 7.38 million unique active wallets (UAW) in the past 30 days, representing a 33.5% market share. SKALE Network follows with 16.9%, while WAX and Immutable zkEVM round out the top performers.
Currently, just a few blockchains dominate the Web3 gaming landscape. Sei, opBNB, and SKALE collectively account for over 80% of the total UAW activity in the sector.
As per the data from blockchain analytics platform Nansen, Sei Network has experienced significant growth in recent months, cementing its position as a rising star in the blockchain ecosystem. Key metrics reveal:
As Sei Network continues its upward climb, its performance underscores its growing role in the broader blockchain landscape. Along with today’s SEI price rally, the SEI futures open interest is also up by 24%, which shows that the traders’ interest in the altcoin has surged significantly.
