In a significant development for the cryptocurrency sector, Crypto.com has announced its integration with the Sei Network, a move aimed at bolstering security and providing institutional-level asset management options. This partnership reflects growing institutional interest and sets the stage for expanded opportunities within the Sei ecosystem.
Key Features of the Integration
- The exchange platform now supports the native SEI token with compliant cold storage.

Commenting on the recent developments, Aric Anziani, Chief Operating Officer and President of Crypto.com, stated, “Institutional custody is a foundational component in scaling blockchain ecosystems. We are pleased to support Sei Network’s mission to power high-frequency, low-latency applications with secure infrastructure that meets the highest standards of compliance and operational integrity.” This aligns with Crypto.com’s vision of becoming a backbone for compliant crypto infrastructure catering primarily to finance and trading platforms.
Importance of Sei Integration
Since its mainnet launch in 2023, Sei has emerged as a notable player in the L1 sector, prioritizing on-chain funding and high-speed trading. The SEI network boasts nearly 50 million wallets, processing billions of transactions. The recent integration of PayPal’s stablecoin on the Sei blockchain aims to promote cryptocurrency adoption in global finance, signifying a rising institutional interest in the network. Consequently, Sei requires robust security for seamless operations, especially in a thriving staking context.
Messari highlighted that SEI stakers celebrated their first positive yield as the blockchain continues to flourish. With innovative tools for security, Crypto.com Custody guarantees institutional-level cold storage to minimize risks for large-scale investors managing SEI assets across various operations.
The Sei Development Foundation’s Director, Justin Barlow, noted, “We are thrilled to see another top-tier institutional custody provider choosing to support the Sei Network. With Crypto.com Custody, institutional investors will have an additional tool to engage with Sei securely and in a regulated manner.” His comments resonate with the prevailing trend of blockchain networks integrating security and compliance frameworks to deliver institutional-grade services.
Sei V3 Giga Upgrade on the Horizon
As Crypto.com integrates Sei, the network also prepares for the upcoming V3 Giga upgrade, designed to provide innovative scaling solutions compatible with Ethereum applications. This update aims to democratize Web3 and is targeting an ambitious 200,000 transactions per second (TPS) with sub-400ms finality.
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.

Thanks to secure custody, Sei aims to attract increased liquidity from institutions and expand its validator set.
SEI Price Outlook
The native token of the Sei Network has recently mirrored broader market declines, losing nearly 4% in the last 24 hours to settle at $0.3254. The cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn following a slowdown from recent FOMC gains. However, analysts predict strong rebounds in the upcoming sessions, particularly during the anticipated “Uptober.” Institutional use cases are expected to drive explosive growth for SEI if market conditions improve significantly.
