I en kommentar til den siste utviklingen sa Crypto.com COO og president, Aric Anziani:
Institutional custody is a critical foundation for scaling blockchain ecosystems. We’re pleased to support Sei Network’s mission to enable high-frequency, low-latency applications with secure infrastructure that meets the highest standards of compliance and operational integrity.
Announcements like this reflect Crypto.com’s vision of becoming a backbone for compliant crypto infrastructure for finance- and trading-focused platforms.
Why this matters for Sei
Sei has grown significantly since its mainnet launch in 2023 and has emerged as a notable player in the L1 sector, prioritizing on-chain finance and high-speed trading.
The SEI network supports tens of millions of wallets and processes billions of transactions.
Recently, the blockchain integrated PayPal’s stablecoin to further crypto adoption in global finance, underscoring rising institutional interest in the network. As adoption and staking activity increase, the platform needs robust security to ensure smooth operation.
Industry research highlighted that SEI stakers began to see positive returns as the chain matured.
Crypto.com Custody provides security through its suite of institutional tools.
The exchange offers compliant, institutional cold storage tailored for large investors to manage SEI assets for liquidity operations, ecosystem growth, and validator incentives while minimizing risk.
Sei’s team welcomed Crypto.com’s support as a milestone toward broader adoption.
Justin Barlow, Executive Director of the Sei Development Foundation, said:
We’re excited to see another leading provider of institutional-grade custody solutions choose to support Sei Network. Through Crypto.com Custody, institutional investors will have an additional regulated and secure option for engaging with Sei.
Barlow’s comments mirror a broader trend of blockchain networks integrating with security and compliance frameworks to offer institutional services.
Sei V3 Giga upgrade
The Crypto.com integration arrives as the network prepares for the V3 Giga upgrade, designed to deliver new scaling solutions for Ethereum-compatible applications.
The upgrade aims to democratize Web3 by targeting up to 200,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-400 millisecond finality, a major step up from current limits.
Sei is about to flip the switch on its Giga Upgrade.@SeiNetwork is aiming for 200,000 TPS with sub-400ms finality.
That’s 50x today’s ceiling and would make $SEI the fastest EVM chain in existence.

With secure custody in place, Sei can attract increased institutional liquidity and expand its validator set.
Price outlook for SEI
Sei Network’s native token has mirrored broader market weakness, trading lower in recent sessions.
At the time of reporting it was down roughly 4% over 24 hours to about $0.3254.
Cryptocurrencies faced a pullback after earlier gains driven by recent FOMC-related moves.
Analysts, however, expect renewed upside potential in the coming weeks and into the seasonal rally often referred to as “Uptober.”
Institutional use cases and improved custody infrastructure could support significant upside for SEI when market conditions improve.
