Sei Rockets 22% Higher—Native USDC Fuel Sends Breakout Into Hyperdrive
Sei's blockchain just got the turbo boost it needed. With native USDC now live on the network, the platform's token surged 22%—proving once again that stablecoin integrations remain the ultimate 'number go up' catalyst in crypto.
The mechanics behind the pump? Sei's EVM compatibility finally pays off as Circle's dollar-pegged asset bypasses bridges and lands directly on-chain. Traders are voting with their wallets—liquidity begets liquidity.
While the usual suspects will call this 'organic growth,' let's be real—nothing moves altcoin markets like the sweet, sweet smell of fresh stablecoin pairs. The only thing more predictable than a 22% green candle? The inevitable 'wen correction' tweets from bagholders who missed the ride.
Sei Integrates Native USDC and CCTP V2
Sei Network has announced the integration of native USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol V2 (CCTP), a move aimed at improving cross-chain liquidity and transfer speeds. This development brings the regulated, fully-reserved stablecoin USDC to Sei’s LAYER 1 blockchain, which is designed for high throughput and low-cost transactions.
Circle stated that the launch enables seamless and low-friction transfers of USDC across supported blockchains. The company said in its announcement,
“This marks a step forward in enabling trusted digital dollars for DeFi, payments, and gaming.”
The new setup also provides institutional on/off-ramps via Circle Mint, which may attract more enterprise-grade users to the SEI ecosystem.
SEI Price Breaks Key Resistance Level
The price of SEI surged to $0.32, representing a 21% increase over the last 24 hours and 25% over the past 7 days. According to Coingecko data, the 24-hour trading volume exceeded $590 million, while the market cap ROSE to $1.81 billion.
Notably, technical analysis shows SEI has broken above a key horizontal level NEAR $0.2574. This level has acted as strong resistance since February 2025 and is now being retested as support. Analyst Robert Mercer noted the structure shift in a recent post:
“Resistance of $25 was finally broken upwards… clear setup. Must buy.”

Trendline Break and Momentum Indicators
SEI also breached a descending trendline that had capped the price since early 2025. The breakout from this multi-month pattern signals a shift from bearish to bullish momentum. Following the breakout, price action has moved higher and is forming a parabolic path toward higher resistance zones.
If upward momentum continues, the next resistance levels are projected at $0.3313, $0.3968, $0.4866, and $0.5998. These levels are based on the historical price structure.
Meanwhile, the RSI indicator is currently at 67.73, close to the overbought threshold of 70. This reading indicates strong momentum, although it may warrant monitoring for short-term exhaustion.
The Chaikin Money FLOW (CMF) is positive at 0.09, confirming net capital inflow into the asset and supporting the upward move. Traders are closely watching for sustained bullish volume to confirm the trend.
