SEI Token Surges 12% After $125K Purchase by World Liberty Financial
The SEI token saw a 12% price increase today, following a $125K purchase by World Liberty Financial (WLF). This surge propelled SEI into the top gainers list on CoinMarketCap, alongside Story Protocol’s IP, Berachain, and Bittensor’s TAO, which also experienced notable price jumps. 
SEI Token Market Performance
At the time of writing, SEI is trading at $0.2506, reflecting a 12% gain in the past 24 hours. Its market capitalization has also risen to $1.16 billion, mirroring the price surge. The primary driver behind SEI’s rally appears to be a 124% increase in 24-hour trading volume.
Despite today’s gains, SEI is still trading well below its all-time high (ATH) of $1.14, recorded in 2024. Over the past week, SEI has gained 7%, but its monthly performance remains down by 27%. However, World Liberty Financial’s recent investment in the token could potentially revive bullish momentum.
World Liberty Financial Buys $125K Worth of SEI Tokens
According to on-chain analytics platform Onchain Lens, World Liberty Financial purchased 547,990 SEI tokens at an average price of $0.228, totaling $125K. This acquisition adds SEI to WLF’s expanding crypto portfolio, which already includes AAVE, LINK, ENA, ETH, and wBTC.
In addition to the SEI purchase, WLF’s wallet withdrew $10 million USDC from Coinbase to acquire 200 million WLFI tokens. The organization has frequently made headlines for its large-scale crypto investments, although concerns remain about the actual commencement of its DeFi operations.
Looking Ahead
While the recent SEI price surge has been largely driven by WLF’s investment, its long-term impact remains uncertain. Market participants will be closely watching SEI’s trading volume, institutional interest, and overall market sentiment to determine whether this price rally marks the beginning of a sustained uptrend. 🚀
