21Shares has submitted a proposal to US regulators to launch a fund that would follow the market value of SEI, the native token of the Sei blockchain.

The application, filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 28, outlines plans to use pricing data from CF Benchmarks, which combines rates from several crypto exchanges to provide a reference point.

If approved, the fund would be among the first in the US to offer access to SEI in the form of an exchange-traded product. Currently, the only crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trading in the US track Bitcoin

Sei Network Gets MetaMask Support as Buy Signals Emerge for SEI Token, $0.5 on the Horizon https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-network-gets-metamask-support-as-buy-signals-emerge-for-sei-token-0-5-on-the-horizon/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-network-gets-metamask-support-as-buy-signals-emerge-for-sei-token-0-5-on-the-horizon/#respond Thu, 07 Aug 2025 19:25:48 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-network-gets-metamask-support-as-buy-signals-emerge-for-sei-token-0-5-on-the-horizon/

MetaMask, one of the most widely used Web3 wallets with over 100 million users, has officially integrated the Sei Network, a Layer-1 blockchain known for its speed and scalability.

This major update now allows users to access Sei’s decentralized applications (dApps), tokens, NFTs, and perform SEI transactions directly from MetaMask, without the need for third-party tools or bridges.

With this integration, the total number of supported blockchains in MetaMask rises to 11, further strengthening its position as a leading multi-chain wallet. A dedicated Sei section within the MetaMask Portfolio now offers users a smooth entry point to the network’s gaming, DeFi, and NFT ecosystem.

Sei’s Ecosystem Growth Fuels Investor Optimism

The timing of this integration couldn’t be better for the token. The network has recently achieved significant growth milestones: over 4.2 million daily transactions, a TVL surpassing $600 million, and 11 million monthly active users, all since launching its EVM-compatible chain less than a year ago.

The tokenimproved accessibility through MetaMask is expected to attract more developers and users alike, expanding the reach of its high-performance blockchain infrastructure. According to Justin Barlow of the Sei Development Foundation, this marks a strategic leap toward making Sei the “best EVM ecosystem.”

Market interest in the SEI token has already responded positively, with a 2.5% uptick post-announcement, and more upside could be in play.

Bullish Indicators Suggest This Crypto Could Hit $0.50 Soon

Several technical indicators are flashing green for the token. The Supertrend indicator has flipped bullish on the weekly chart, a signal previously followed by substantial price increases. Supporting metrics include:

  • RSI (14): 51.3 — Neutral, room to climb
  • Stochastic (9,6): 63.4 — Buy signal
  • ADX (14): 28.9 — Strengthening trend
  • Williams %R: -43.5 — Momentum building

Crypto analyst @ali_charts predicts SEI could soon reach $0.54, citing strong chart structure and renewed investor confidence. With growing on-chain activity, seamless MetaMask access, and technical support, the SEI token appears poised for a breakout.

SEI Price Analysis: Cups and Handle Breakouts in Play, When to Buy This… https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-price-analysis-cups-and-handle-breakouts-in-play-when-to-buy-this/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-price-analysis-cups-and-handle-breakouts-in-play-when-to-buy-this/#respond Tue, 29 Jul 2025 12:49:45 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-price-analysis-cups-and-handle-breakouts-in-play-when-to-buy-this/

The bullish setup for SEI is beginning to take shape and you may be seeing the best entry points in a few weeks, but there is an important catch.

SEI has consolidated the last three weeks to a defined range and have seen everything else in the Altcoin space torn apart. So, is it time for you to become a monkey?

SEI prices form classic bullish patterns, but face important resistance

(Seiusd))

Over the past 24 hours, SEI has declined by 5.5%, and we retested the lower limit of the three-week range between $0.317 and $0.37. Despite this dip, the wider construction remains constructive.

Textbook cups and handle formations appear to be formed on the 1D chart, with prices trying to get out of the “handle” section, with multiple indicators beginning to see the shift in momentum.

“It’s a golden cross and usually turns the continuation of the trend upside down.” – 99 Bitcoin Analysis

Meanwhile, the acquired signal is blinking and the RSI pushes above 75. This is a classic setup for pause or pullbacks, despite still being structurally bullish.

Why SEI still trades sideways despite bullish indicators

Daily indicators shine bullishly, but catches remain in range, continuing to face rejection of SEI below $0.35.

So far, price action suggests that SEI is still very confined to integration, and the breakout story has not yet been confirmed.

Are you buying SEI now?

The long-term case of SEI is unharmed, but the short-term trade setup is more clear in 4H. If the BTC is stable, this could mark a high-reward entry.

Breakouts over $0.35 unlock the running room. Losing $0.324 will play the bottom of the range.

Ondo Finance Debuts a Tokenized US Treasury Fund (USDY) on the SEI Blockchain https://earlybirdsinvest.com/ondo-finance-debuts-a-tokenized-us-treasury-fund-usdy-on-the-sei-blockchain/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/ondo-finance-debuts-a-tokenized-us-treasury-fund-usdy-on-the-sei-blockchain/#respond Sat, 19 Jul 2025 04:06:38 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/ondo-finance-debuts-a-tokenized-us-treasury-fund-usdy-on-the-sei-blockchain/

Ondo Finance, a designer of institutional-grade platforms, assets, and infrastructure, has introduced a novel approach to moving traditional assets onto the blockchain.

Built on Sei’s infrastructure for digital asset exchanges, this marks a further collaboration between industry peers, bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3.

An Industry First

The decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Ondo announced yesterday on X the pioneering project – the first-ever US government bond product tokenized on the Sei network. The United States Dollar Yield (USDY) is a tokenized note, backed by short-term US Treasuries and bank deposits.

In traditional finance (TradFi), U.S. Treasuries have long stood as a “safe haven.” With tokenization being introduced, owning bonds will become easier and more efficient through fractionalization.

The network will grant developers and users alike access to a yield-bearing RWA, seamlessly integrated into Sei’s expanding DeFi stack. Regardless of the use case, whether it be collateral, payment rail, or base layer yield-primitive, USDY will enhance the network’s position in the RWA-enabled on-chain finance space.

An excerpt from Ondo’s blog post reads:

“USDY will be the first tokenized treasuries asset on the Sei network, a growing modular blockchain ecosystem, bringing institutional-grade onchain yield to its users for the first time.”

Ondo’s ongoing strides in the DeFi space follow World Liberty Financial’s selection of the ONDO token as a strategic asset reserve, marked by a $470,000 purchase.

The choice of the Sei Network comes at a time when it’s experiencing significant growth, as it’s nearing $700 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), according to data from DefiLlama.

Compared to the same time last year, the protocol’s TVL was approximately $85 million, representing about a 700% increase.

“Ondo Finance is setting the standard for real-world asset tokenization, and we’re thrilled to welcome USDY to the Sei ecosystem,” said Justin Barlow, Executive Director at the Sei Development Foundation.

Tokenization of Assets on The Rise

The RWA market has been experiencing significant growth, with data from RWA.xyz showing a total value increase from $11.6 billion to over $24 billion in just one year.

Well-known names in the crypto space have been making strides in the trend, with the likes of Cardano tapping into Argentina’s mining sector to convert property rights to lithium into digital tokens.

Chainlink was integrated into ANZ, an Australian bank, to enable the secure cross-chain exchange of RWAs via its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).

Fidelity Investments, one of the world’s largest asset managers with approximately $5.9 trillion in assets under management (AUM), has also entered the tokenization race, reportedly researching stablecoins and tokenized treasury products.

June 9th, 2025 – Singapore, Singapore


TrueNorth, led by a former chief of hybrid CeFi/DeFi exchange WOO and AI experts, raises a strategic angel round to pioneer the agentic economy.

The founders of LayerZero, SEI, Selini Capital, Virtuals, Plume, and Presto Labs have collectively backed an AI platform that uses autonomous agents and real-time data to uncover crypto opportunities. AI-focused firm TrueNorth, co-founded by former WOO COO Willy Chuang and ex-Temasek AI tech investor Alex Lee, has raised $1 million in funding to develop Crypto’s first AI-powered engine. An engine symbiotic to the users’ discovery journey from intent straight to the outcome.

TrueNorth’s agentic technology continuously scans across chains, socials, and macro and project data to surface timely, high-signal insights for every user personalized to their portfolio, trading style, and past behavior.

“We see true AI agents becoming the foundation for how people invest in crypto for the future,” said Willy Chuang and Alex Lee, co-founders of TrueNorth. “The market is only getting more complex, and our goal is to cut through the noise with a hyper-personalized engine powered by a generative user interface (known as Gen UI) that adapts to each user’s style and behavior in real-time. We’re building a system where the agnetic flow and expert distilled reinforcement learning models work quietly in the background, driving the user’s intent infinitely closer to the outcome. Willy Chuang, who previously led operations at the CeFi/DeFi exchange WOO, emphasized the real-world need for tools that reduce cognitive overload in fast-moving markets. “Having led crypto exchanges and worked closely with a broad range of traders and investors, I’ve seen how fragmented data and constant noise creates friction in decision-making,” said Chuang. “TrueNorth is built to simplify this, delivering personalized insights that evolve with each user so they can move faster with more confidence.”For his part, Alex Lee, a PhD in AI, highlighted the platform’s AI-driven approach and ongoing development phase. “AI has reached a point where it can do more than just process data; it can understand context, adapt to users, and continuously improve decision-making,” said Lee. “That’s the foundation we’re building on: agentic intelligence that works behind the scenes to surface what matters most. We’re currently in closed beta, working closely with early users to refine a system that feels intuitive but is powered by serious intelligence.”

TrueNorth’s backers, Bryan Pellegrino of LayerZero, Jeff Feng of SEI, Jordi Alexander of Selini Capital, and Yongjin of Presto Labs, as well as Will Wang of Generative Ventures, share a strong belief in AI’s transformative power in crypto trading. Their interests span key themes such as interoperability, data-driven AI models, algorithmic market strategies, and innovative infrastructure development. Together, these interests reflect not only a shared belief in AI’s potential but also the same principles driving TrueNorth’s mission to simplify and personalize decision-making in decentralized markets.

TrueNorth, a platform under Singapore-registered Advent AI, is working closely with its first 500 early users, the Truthsayers, to refine agentic workflows for AI-native investing in closed beta. In the coming weeks, the team will unveil key details of its advanced architecture and agentic frameworks as it gears up for a public launch aimed at delivering smarter, hyper-personalized crypto discovery tools to a wider audience.

Sei Labs embraces Ethereum with bold EVM-only shift eliminating Cosmos support https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-labs-embraces-ethereum-with-bold-evm-only-shift-eliminating-cosmos-support/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-labs-embraces-ethereum-with-bold-evm-only-shift-eliminating-cosmos-support/#respond Thu, 08 May 2025 12:00:40 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-labs-embraces-ethereum-with-bold-evm-only-shift-eliminating-cosmos-support/

Sei Labs, the core development team behind the Sei blockchain, has proposed a fundamental shift in the network’s architecture that would eliminate support for Cosmos transactions and CosmWasm contracts.

Instead, the team plans to transition fully to an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible framework, arguing that this move would simplify the blockchain and improve the developer experience.

Sei Labs co-founder Jay Jog pointed out that most of the network’s current activity already centers around EVM usage. He emphasized that the proposal, known as SIP-3, is a deliberate effort to align Sei with where its ecosystem is heading.

Considering this, Jog described the transition as a necessary step toward building Sei Giga, a scalable blockchain focused on performance and usability. He added that narrowing Sei’s focus to a single virtual machine will improve throughput and remove unnecessary architectural complexity.

Following the proposal’s announcement, SEI’s token price rose 7% to $0.20, reflecting positive market sentiment toward the potential upgrade.

Sei’s EVM dream

SIP-3 will make Sei an EVM-only blockchain, phasing out all support for Cosmos-based features. This change would streamline the transaction system and consolidate smart contract development under a single standard.

Sei Labs maintains that this is a forward-looking move designed to reduce operational overhead and establish a more cohesive development environment.

The team expects that the move will allow Sei to better integrate into the broader Ethereum ecosystem and attract more developers seeking performance and simplicity.

Meanwhile, this architectural change will require adjustments from infrastructure providers and developers alike.

The blockchain network’s existing wallets, dApps, and services must shift to EVM-compatible formats, and applications built on CosmWasm must be redeployed.

Additionally, the network’s asset holders using Cosmos-native tools may need to migrate or off-ramp their holdings.

The team added:

“Sei addresses may still be used internally by the protocol (e.g. validator addresses), and core functionality such as staking and governance will remain available through precompiles.”

Sei Foundation looks to acquire bankrupt 23andMe in major DeSci move https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-foundation-looks-to-acquire-bankrupt-23andme-in-major-desci-move/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-foundation-looks-to-acquire-bankrupt-23andme-in-major-desci-move/#respond Fri, 28 Mar 2025 10:17:14 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/sei-foundation-looks-to-acquire-bankrupt-23andme-in-major-desci-move/

The Sei Foundation is exploring the acquisition of 23andMe, a bankrupt genetic testing company, with plans to bring its data infrastructure onto the Sei blockchain.

In a statement released on March 27, the Foundation revealed that the acquisition would mark a significant step toward protecting genetic data through on-chain solutions.

According to the Foundation:

“We believe user data sovereignty is a matter of national security. When an American biotech pioneer faces bankruptcy, personal genomic data of millions becomes vulnerable to parties that may not share the same values of transparency and open access.”

Considering this, the Sei Foundation revealed that acquiring 23andMe would align with its broader mission to protect user data.

Sei believes its acquisition would allow individuals to gain complete control over their personal information by transitioning the company’s genetic records to a blockchain-based system. Users could decide how their data is shared, monetized, or stored—enabling a future where privacy and ownership come first.

23andMe, widely known for offering DNA testing kits that provide insights into ancestry, traits, and genetic health risks, recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States. The filing aims to open the door for potential buyers to acquire the company’s assets and maximize shareholder value.

DeSci

Meanwhile, the Foundation also stressed that this is more than a rescue operation.

Instead, the organization sees the potential acquisition as a strategic push into Decentralized Science (DeSci), an emerging field that applies blockchain principles to scientific research and data management.

If the deal is completed, the acquisition would mark one of the first major efforts to integrate genetic science into the chain.

Besides that, the acquisition could also strengthen the DeSci movement, which continues to attract attention and funding.

As of press time, data from CoinGecko shows that tokens tied to DeSci initiatives hold a combined market value of over $657 million.

Trump’s Financial Empire Makes Waves With $10 Million WLFI, $125K SEI Purchase https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trumps-financial-empire-makes-waves-with-10-million-wlfi-125k-sei-purchase/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trumps-financial-empire-makes-waves-with-10-million-wlfi-125k-sei-purchase/#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:08:49 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trumps-financial-empire-makes-waves-with-10-million-wlfi-125k-sei-purchase/

United States President Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial announced another round of investments this week to further build its crypto portfolio. According to on-chain data, World Liberty Financial withdrew $10 million USDC from its Coinbase account to purchase 200 million WLFI tokens and another $12k to buy 547,990 SEI tokens, with an average price of $0.228.

Both transactions were recorded last February 20th, as reported by Onchain Lens. The crypto firm’s latest transaction coincided with the release of its macro strategy last February 12th.

Trump Family’s Foray Into Crypto Continues

World Liberty Financial is a crypto and DeFI project supported by the US President and some family members, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Barron Trump. It aims to strengthen the US dollar’s position in the highly competitive DeFi space.

According to company records, Trump and his associates control 60% of the WLF, which assigns them 75% control over the firm’s revenue and access to 22.5 billion tokens. Trump’s family also owns most of the Trump Media & Technology Group, which recently announced its shift to crypto after starting with financial services.

WLF’s Macro Strategy – What We Know So Far

Last February 12th, Trump’s crypto company announced the creation of the Macro Strategy, a strategic token reserve that aims to boost its competitiveness in DeFi. In a Twitter/X post, WLF shared that this new project aims to enhance stability, foster growth, build trust, and promote strategic partnerships with financial institutions.

WLF recently received a boost from Tron’s Justin Sun, who invested at least $75 million in its native token, making him one of the most prominent investors. However, Sun’s entry into the company was criticized due to his alleged links with illegal financial activities. Aside from Sun’s investment, WLF has offered various deals to its investors, making it one of the biggest crypto launches to date.

WLF Continues To Boost Holdings, As Criticisms Start To Trickle In

WLF continues its expansion in the crypto market thanks to Trump’s backing and the entry of Sun. According to a BitMart Research report, as of February 9th, the company has sold $455 million worth of tokens. Trump’s crypto project generated $319 million from selling its 21.3 billion tokens at $0.015 each. And for its second round of sales, the company earned another $136 million.

However, WLF remains at the center of controversy due mainly to its links with the Trump family. According to some critics, Trump’s crypto project is self-serving and only benefits the president’s immediate family members and allies.
