Cryptocurrency markets have been on the rise for weeks, making it the perfect time to deliver good news for altcoins. Partnerships, investments, and other positive developments have a greater impact on prices during periods of strong risk appetite. Today, the SEI Coin team did just that.
Why is SEI Coin Rising?
SEI, the smart contract platform launched in August, announced today that it has received an investment from Circle, the issuer of USD Coin. USDC expanded to the NEAR and Optimism networks in August and announced that it will have a presence on more networks. Now, the second-largest stablecoin, SEI, is entering the SEI network. Samy Karim, the director of the Sei Foundation, said the following:
“As cryptocurrencies develop, stablecoins will become increasingly relevant to the industry’s overall growth.”
Wyatt Lonergan, Director of Circle Ventures, stated:
“The Sei ecosystem is a suitable partner for our goals of open access and programmable trading. We are excited to work with them for high-speed and cost-effective transactions on the network.”
Following the news, the price of SEI Coin rapidly increased from $0.146 to $0.163. As the number of Layer1 solutions increases, competition in this area is expected to intensify. In 2021, Solana and Avalanche emerged as notable Layer1 solutions, competing with Ethereum. Today, there are even more alternatives, including SUI and SEI from Aptos. This provides developers and users with more choices and raises the possibility that token prices may not experience the same parabolic increases as before. The year 2024 may bring surprises in this regard.
