This partnership is intended to boost user confidence and create new opportunities for validators, funds, and treasuries operating on the Sei blockchain.
Crypto.com Custody provides custody services to leading institutions and high-net-worth clients using up-to-date security measures.

Mengulas mengenai perkembangan terkini, COO dan Presiden Crypto.com, Aric Anziani, berkata:
Institutional custody is a critical foundation for scaling blockchain ecosystems. We are pleased to support the Sei Network’s mission to power high-frequency, low-latency applications with secure infrastructure that meets compliance standards and the highest levels of operational integrity.
That statement reflects Crypto.com’s vision to be a compliant infrastructure backbone for platforms focused on finance and trading.
Why this matters for Sei
Since its mainnet launch in 2023, Sei has grown into a notable Layer 1 project, prioritizing on-chain finance and high-speed trading.
The Sei network now supports nearly 50 million wallets and has processed billions of transactions.
Recently, the blockchain integrated PayPal’s stablecoin to encourage broader crypto adoption in global finance.
These developments highlight rising institutional interest in the Sei Network. The platform requires enterprise-grade security for smooth operations, especially as staking activity increases.
Research highlighted by Messari noted that SEI stakers began seeing positive yields as the chain expanded.
Crypto.com Custody aims to secure assets with its suite of innovative tools.
The exchange offers compliant, institutional-grade cold storage for large investors to manage SEI holdings for treasury operations, ecosystem development, and validator incentives while minimizing risk.
The Sei L1 team welcomed Crypto.com’s support as a step toward broader adoption.
Justin Barlow, Director of the Sei Development Foundation, said:
We’re excited to see another leading institutional-grade custody provider choose to support the Sei Network. Through Crypto.com Custody, institutional investors will have an additional, secure, and controlled means to interact with Sei.
Barlow’s comments mirror a common trend: blockchain networks integrating with robust security and compliance frameworks to offer institutional-grade services.
Sei V3 Giga upgrade
The Crypto.com integration arrives as the network prepares the V3 Giga upgrade, designed to deliver innovative scaling solutions compatible with Ethereum-style applications.
The update aims to democratize Web3 by targeting 200,000 transactions per second (TPS) with finality under 400 milliseconds.
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 is better positioned to attract expanded institutional liquidity and grow its validator set.
SEI price outlook
Sei’s native token has mirrored broader market weakness.
SEI fell roughly 4% over the past 24 hours to $0.3254.
Crypto markets experienced a significant sell-off on Friday after momentum faded following gains driven by the recent FOMC developments.
However, analysts expect a solid rebound in the coming sessions and remain optimistic about an “Uptober” rally.
Institutional use cases and improved custody options are expected to support explosive growth for SEI when the broader market turns upward.
