SEI Crypto Surges 90% in a Week as Whales Trigger Bullish Breakout

The Buy/Sell Pressure Delta, visualized by Alphfractrals indicator, confirmed a bullish reversal. After months of net sell pressure dominating the market, SEI has now seen sustained positive buy-side flows. This change in pressure typically marks the early stages of trend reversals in altcoins.

Institutional Interest Boosts SEI Fundamentals

The bullish move is backed not just by momentum, but also institutional support. In a recently released IPO filing, Circle disclosed that SEI was the largest token holding on its balance sheet. With 6.25 million SEI valued at $2.47 million, it even surpassed Bitcoin and Ethereum in Circles portfolio.

The filing added strong credibility to the token‘s growth story and may have served as a catalyst for the recent breakout. Circle’s positioning suggests that smart money views the cryptocurrency as a strategic long-term asset.

Additionally, SEI has been named a finalist in Wyomings WYST stablecoin selection process. If selected, it could become a core infrastructure layer for the first state-backed digital currency in the United States. This reinforces its status as a regulatory-compliant and enterprise-ready blockchain platform.

Momentum Aligns with Network Expansion

SEI has also emerged as the second most-used EVM-compatible chain by active users, indicating growing adoption. Developers and users are increasingly attracted to SEIs low-latency design and high-throughput architecture, built specifically for trading applications, NFTs, and DeFi protocols.

The breakout move has also been supported by multiple Alpha Quant long signals, particularly the one around $0.18, just before the recent price acceleration. The confirmation of long signals alongside high-volume inflows typically points to sustainable momentum.

With a 13.19% OI-to-market cap ratio, SEI shows signs of rising speculative interest that often precedes parabolic moves. Funding rates remain slightly negative at -0.07%, indicating that perpetual traders are still cautious—offering further upside potential if sentiment shifts further positive.
