- SEI price is up on the day to $0.0532, recovering from a 24h low of $0.0508.
- Kraken activated USDC and USDT0 deposits and withdrawals directly on Sei EVM, removing bridge friction.
- The Giga upgrade EVM-only migration is set for April 6–8, targeting 200,000+ TPS and sub-400ms finality.
- Analyst CyrilXBT holds off entry, citing no buyer conviction until $0.10 breaks with volume.
SEI price gained almost 5% on the session to $0.0532 after buyers stepped in from a 24-hour low of $0.0508. The recovery is narrow; the previous close was $0.0513, but it arrives as a concrete infrastructure development. Sei coin is still down 52.16% year-to-date and 21.68% over the past month. The intraday bid, however, is not random.
Giga Upgrade and Kraken Integration
Kraken has activated USDC and USDT0 deposits and withdrawals on Sei EVM, cutting out third-party bridges and wrapped intermediaries entirely. The exchange already listed SEI the token, but stablecoin access operates on a different tier. DeFi lending markets, DEXs, and yield vaults on the network all depend on stablecoin liquidity to function at full capacity, and that pool just got a direct exchange feed.
The Kraken integration fits into a deliberate infrastructure buildout running ahead of two technical milestones, SIP-3, which transitions Sei to an EVM-only chain, and the Giga upgrade, which targets over 200,000 TPS and sub-400 millisecond finality.
The EVM-only migration window is April 6–8. Stablecoin liquidity needs to be on-chain before that upgrade can be useful at scale, and the broader market supports the timing, as the stablecoin market cap has grown 32% year-on-year to $310 billion and is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2028.
SEI Price Prediction Hinges on $0.10 Volume Breakout, Analyst Says
Analyst CyrilXBT took a hard look at the SEI price chart and came away unconvinced. The EMA 200 is sitting at $0.1297, nearly 2.5x above the current price, and daily volume registered at just 9.25 million, a fraction of levels seen during prior rallies.
His conclusion is that there will be no conviction from buyers at these levels. The Giga upgrade is the one catalyst keeping Sei on his watchlist, but he stated plainly he won’t enter until $0.10 breaks with real volume behind it.
The weekly picture backs that caution. SEI coin is down 9.85% over the past 7 days, and the 24-hour range remains compressed between $0.0508 and $0.05326. The all-time high of $1.14, set on March 16, 2024, represents a 95.34% drawdown from here.
Therefore, a credible SEI price prediction hinges on the April 6–8 Giga migration executing cleanly, and on whether that event finally pulls enough volume to challenge the structure the analyst is watching.
