SEI’s Trading Volume Hits $1.3B with Fully Diluted Market Cap of $2.7B in 24 hours
In Brief
SEI, the native token of Layer-1 blockchain, was listed on Binance, Bybit, Huobi, and Kraken yesterday as the network’s mainnet went live.
The token’s trading volume hit $1.3 billion with a fully diluted valuation of $2.7 billion in 24 hours.
Nearly half of the token’s trading volume came from Korean crypto exchange Upbit, with Binance trailing behind.
When Sei’s Layer-1 blockchain’s mainnet launched yesterday, its native token, SEI, was simultaneously listed on major crypto exchanges including Binance, Bybit, Huobi, and Kraken.
In just 24 hours, the token has hit a trading volume of over $1.3 billion, with a fully diluted market cap of $2.7 billion, per CoinGecko. SEI is currently ranked in the top 10 cryptocurrencies by 24-hour trading volume.
According to CoinGecko, nearly half of the token’s trading volume originated from the South Korean exchange Upbit, which dominates with a 24-hour volume of 49.9%, totaling over $658 million. Binance takes second place with a 21.99% trading volume at the time of writing this.
Over $250 million worth of the token has been traded on Binance over the last 24 hours. Listed at $0.06, the token reached a high of $0.45 before retracing to $0.15.
On Tuesday, Coinbase revealed that it would add support for SEI, leading to a 30% surge in its value to its current price of $0.23 today.
Amid the excitement surrounding the token, the hashtag “#SeiScam” also started trending on Twitter today. This surge in online discussion is rooted in the anticipation of Sei’s airdrop details, which testnet users are still waiting for.
Despite Sei’s announcement that the airdrop would be claimable upon the Public Mainnet launch, testnet users have encountered difficulties in redeeming their tokens.
Sei is a Layer-1 blockchain designed to optimize decentralized exchanges and trading applications, for rapid transactions and scalability. The network claims to be the fastest Layer-1 blockchain, achieving a swift time to finality of as little as 250ms—with an added 100ms buffer to ensure the stability of its protocol.
The company also asserts its capability to handle 20,000 orders per second.
In April, Sei Labs, a key contributor to the network, disclosed a successful raise of $30 million over two strategic funding rounds. According to the company, this funding aims to expedite Sei’s growth trajectory and bolster its presence across the Asia-Pacific region.
