Sei Re-poster

Securitize has facilitated the rollout of Apollo’s ACRED on the Sei blockchain, granting eligible investors tokenized access to Apollo’s credit strategy. Driven by an expanding selection of instruments that include stablecoins, Treasury-backed assets, and private credit, institutional adoption continues to broaden the role of Sei within the onchain finance ecosystem.

Traditional brokerage platforms are making it easier than ever to enter the digital asset market, moving availability far past standard cryptocurrency exchanges. Through their current accounts, market participants can now gain direct exposure to SEI using a trusted broker, as Interactive Brokers (IBKR) has officially added the CoinShares Staked SEI ETP to its investment offerings.

Between January 2025 and October 2026, the onchain market for tokenized stocks expanded substantially, rising from $288M to $3.45B. To power these assets efficiently, Sei Giga offers an exchange-grade onchain order book designed with robust core features. The infrastructure utilizes multiple proposers, applies a transparent tip mechanism that determines priority on an equal basis, and integrates Sedna to ensure orders remain confidential until they are sequenced.

A recent collaborative study by Sei and @Mastercard details the pathway through which asset managers and banks transition blockchain systems from initial trials into active production environments. The report concludes that technical maturity is no longer the bottleneck holding back institutional adoption. Instead, widespread integration now relies on clear governance, disciplined execution, and institutional confidence.

Serving as a dedicated settlement layer for tokenized finance, Sei pairs sub-second transaction completion with full Ethereum support and trusted relationships with regulated custody services. The network supports key financial products and technical developments, highlighted by Apollo's credit fund offered through @Securitize, Treasuries provided via @Ondo, the trading engine from Monaco, and major capacity expansions delivered through Sei Giga.

As financial markets steadily transition onchain, the core mission of Sei continues to be serving as their premier destination. Following its initial rollout in 2023, the network has built substantial momentum across several key benchmarks. The platform has now registered over 101M EVM addresses, processed more than 5.2B transactions, and seen the deployment of upwards of 3.5M contracts. Furthermore, Sei supports more than 15k EVM tokens alongside an aggregate DEX volume exceeding $16B.

Jay Jog began his career as an early engineer at Robinhood, where he collaborated with premier fintech talent to develop the critical infrastructure that onboarded millions of users. Experiencing the GME saga firsthand proved to be a turning point, revealing that centralized systems operate smoothly only until unexpected pressures cause them to fail.

Five years down the road, he decided to leave an industry-leading position to create an entirely new foundational layer for finance, naming the venture Sei. By dedicating years to optimizing block times and reducing latency, that groundwork has translated into extraordinary throughput. The network has now recorded upwards of 101 million addresses, surpassed 5.2 billion total transactions, and facilitated more than 16 billion dollars in decentralized exchange volume.

This technological foundation has drawn significant institutional engagement. Circle introduced native USDC along with its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), while KAIO paved the way for fund access from both BlackRock and Brevan Howard. Furthermore, Apollo brought ACRED to Sei by partnering with Securitize, and Mastercard officially integrated Sei into its Crypto Partner Program. Following the successful governance approval of Autobahn, focus is shifting toward the launch of Sei Giga as engineering efforts move steadily forward.

Ever since its launch, the primary aim has been clear: develop Sei into the definitive backbone for a decentralized Wall Street. That singular ambition has paved the way for meaningful institutional engagement, billions of user-driven transactions, and the emergence of breakout products.

Here are the key SEI milestones, as recorded on Dune:

During a recent appearance on CNBC, Sei co-founder Jeff Feng explained how discussions with institutional partners have evolved. Rather than focusing on basic education, these dialogues have shifted toward practical execution. Today, institutional attention on Sei is primarily driven by the goal of offering clients fully compliant pathways to tokenized assets.

The pace of tokenization across Sei continues to pick up speed.

In an exciting development, Sei-based @MonacoTrading is incorporating @chainlink APAC Equities Streams, unlocking market coverage for more than $40T worth of equities throughout Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and China. Key regional powerhouses such as BYD, SK Hynix, Samsung, Tencent, and TSMC are all part of this scope. With the ongoing shift toward tokenized stocks, Giga was designed from the ground up to serve as the marketplace where these assets change hands.

We are pleased to present the Giga Manifesto.

With global markets steadily transitioning onchain, tokenization requires a blockchain purposefully engineered for trading. As the premier product developed by Sei, Giga is specifically designed to lead this tokenization era.

Traditional organizations are increasingly moving their operations onto the blockchain. As this transition unfolds, the industry is closely watching to see exactly where these entities decide to build and the motivations behind their deployment strategies. To help shed light on this process, Sei and @Mastercard have partnered to create a collaborative framework. Drawing on insights gathered from in depth interviews with 40+ institutions, this joint publication details exactly how financial institutions evaluate different blockchain networks.

The financial industry is steadily transitioning to blockchain technology, bringing assets like stocks, Treasuries, and investment funds into the digital space. As this shift continues, it is essential that the foundational network supporting these assets is specifically engineered to optimize trading.
