Sei price prediction: what next as SEI jumps 15%?

Sei (SEI), the native token of the Sei Network, has posted a sharp rally, rising over 15% in the past 24 hours to break above $0.21 following developments in the United States.

The move positions SEI as one of the top-performing tokens among the top 100 by market capitalisation.

Trading volume has jumped 90% to $263 million, while open interest has risen 39% to $162 million, indicating heightened market activity.

The surge has pushed Sei’s market cap to $1.18 billion, with the price reaching its highest level since June 11, 2025.

SEI was trading at $0.15 on June 17.

Why is the SEI price up today?

The catalyst for Sei’s price notching this double-digit surge relates to a key development in the stablecoin space. 

Specifically, Sei Network announced that the Wyoming Stable Token Commission had designated Sei as one of the candidate blockchains for the state’s forthcoming fiat-backed stablecoin, WYST.

Scheduled for deployment in July 2025 via LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token standard, WYST represents a pioneering initiative as the first US state-issued stablecoin.

LayerZero Labs, serving as the issuance partner, facilitates this multichain endeavor, which has been under testing since March across multiple blockchains. 

With Sei and Aptos picked after the latest update, WYST testing now cuts across Sei, Aptos, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Stellar, Solana, and Sui. 

Sei’s selection, underpinned by a score of 30 in the Q1 2025 evaluation—narrowly trailing Aptos’s 32—highlights its robust technical framework and vendor support, further validated by endorsements from prominent backers such as Circle, Delphi Digital, Multicoin Capital, and Coinbase.

The market response to news that Trump is giving Iran more time to agree to a nuclear deal also buoyed cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin rose above $106k, and several altcoins flipped green. It’s an outlook that has also helped SEI’s price. 

Bitcoin was trending higher as buyers looked to reclaim the upper hand.

Sei price prediction

While the Sei token remains well off its historical peak of $1.14 reached in March 2024, upside momentum could help buyers target levels above $0.30.

However, this short-term perspective also aligns with broader predictions for crypto and equities.

They added:

“Crypto stays quiet, but under the hood, risk sentiment is shifting. $BTC and $ETH risk reversals favor downside, pointing to active hedging. $ETH’s June implied vol has dipped below September, a rare flip suggesting fading short-term event risk.”

If SEI goes higher, the integration of Sei into the WYST framework could serve as a springboard for sustained growth. 

The key resistance levels to watch may be around $0.30, $0.46, and $0.70. On the flipside, support lies around $0.18 and $0.12.
