SEI Smashes Records: #1 Gaming Chain Hits $600M TVL – Is a 20% Rally to $0.35 Next?

Move over, legacy chains—SEI just claimed the gaming crown with a staggering $600M total value locked. The upstart blockchain now dominates play-to-earn infrastructure, leaving rivals scrambling to match its traction.

Token holders eye breakout potential as SEI flirts with a 20% surge toward $0.35. But can it sustain momentum when every hedge fund manager suddenly becomes a 'gaming expert' after reading one whitepaper?

The real win? Watching traditional finance dinosaurs try to pronounce 'gas fees' correctly while this sector eats their lunch.

However, the layer-1 blockchain’s expanding influence in both the gaming and DeFi sectors suggests that the current price may be significantly undervalued compared to its 2024 performance, during which SEI maintained levels mostly above $0.5 and peaked at $1 in March.

Sei Gaming and DeFi TVL Rockets 2,000% While Token Lags 75% Behind

According to DappRadar analytics, Sei has claimed the top position in web3 gaming over the past 30 days, leading with 8.8 million connected wallets, a remarkable 74% increase from the previous month.

During this period, 14 gaming applications on the Sei network surpassed 100,000 unique active wallets, with all maintaining upward growth trajectories.

Popular titles, including World of Dypians, Archer Hunter, Europe Fantasy League, and Empire of Sei, have experienced unique user growth ranging from 33.2% to an impressive 139%.

Data from DefiLlama reveals that the total value locked (TVL) on Sei reached a new all-time high on July 1st, surpassing $600 million.

This represents a stark contrast to March 2024, when the SEI token reached $1.14 with TVL at just $30.72 million.

While DeFi activity on the chain has expanded by over 2,000%, the token value remains 75% below its peak.

Nansen’s data further supports this growth narrative, showing that daily transactions on Sei have tripled over the past three months, now reaching peaks of over 1.6 million transactions per day.

Coinbase CEO Reveals Crypto Rails Now Power $30 Trillion Volume as Stablecoins on Sei Hit $277M

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the broader potential of crypto payment infrastructure during a recent CNBC interview, noting that crypto rails are facilitating $30 trillion in stablecoin volume.

“These rails are faster, they’re cheaper, they’re more global. Payments FLOW to the path of least resistance, and crypto rails are now the most efficient rails globally,” Armstrong stated.

Sei’s momentum since the beginning of Q2 has been particularly noteworthy.

The price action reflected this underlying strength as SEI emerged as the top-performing altcoin in June with gains exceeding 49%.

However, with a current market capitalization of only $1.57 billion, many analysts believe significant upside potential remains. Short-term projections target $0.5, and longer-term estimates exceed $1 when broader market volume returns.

Technical Analysis Points to Bullish Continuation

The SEI/USDT daily chart displays a bullish breakout, with price action climbing above a five-month resistance level at $0.26.

SUI is currently trading around $0.2821. The price sits slightly above the 9-day simple moving average, which is beginning to trend upward, supporting short-term bullish momentum.

A crucial resistance level awaits at $0.35, which has historically served as a significant selling zone. Should SEI achieve a decisive close above this threshold, the next major target becomes $0.50, representing a potential 76% upside from current levels.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 61.51, indicating robust momentum while remaining below overbought conditions, suggesting additional upside room exists.

However, the $0.35 resistance level remains critical; a clean break above this point WOULD likely drive additional buying pressure toward the $0.50 target.

If rejected at this level, a retest of the $0.26–$0.28 support zone could provide a healthy consolidation period before resuming the upward trend.
