- Sei’s partnership with Xiaomi expands its wallet access to global smartphone users outside China and the US.
- Sei price trades near multi-quarter lows, while trading volume jumps amid renewed ecosystem interest.
- Sei markets show strong liquidity across major exchanges with tight spreads and consistent price cohesion.
Sei is receiving renewed attention after its expanded ecosystem push and rising market activity, even as the asset trades close to its lower range following a long period of valuation compression.
Xiaomi Partnership Brings New Distribution Scope
A post from Coin Bureau reported that Sei will integrate its new wallet across all upcoming Xiaomi smartphones outside China and the United States. This arrangement places Sei in front of millions of potential users through pre-installed device infrastructure. The partnership gives Sei direct access to global consumer markets through one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers.
Embedding the wallet into Xiaomi’s operating environment reduces onboarding friction and may shorten the path from device setup to blockchain use. The strategy mirrors early mobile payment growth patterns, where pre-installed tools often reached more users than optional downloads. This offers Sei an expanded channel for consumer-level blockchain interaction.
Adoption Fund and Retail Network Integration
Sei plans to launch a $5 million adoption fund to support development around the integrated wallet. The initiative directs resources to teams building payment tools, loyalty systems, digital content frameworks, and micro-transaction utilities that run on Sei. The fund rollout aligns with the wallet deployment to ensure that new distribution is matched with usable applications.
Another component involves stablecoin payment support across Xiaomi’s retail network by Q2 2026. Xiaomi operates more than 20,000 stores globally, offering a broad environment for blockchain-based settlement tests. This gives Sei a platform to demonstrate its throughput performance across physical retail systems and cross-border commerce flows.
Market Structure and Price Behavior
Sei as of writing trades at $0.1365, about 75% lower than a year earlier, with a market cap near $870 million. The chart shows repeated attempts at recovery above the $2 billion level earlier in the year before persistent selling pressure drove the asset into a steady decline. The lack of a defined higher-low structure points to a market still searching for stability.
Trading volume has climbed to roughly $237 million after a more than 200% increase. This rise in activity follows the ecosystem developments and reflects new positioning around the partnership news. Sei has solid liquidity over key exchanges even as the trend moves downwards. The market is fairly tight between $0.1361-$0.1369 and the market has active market makers and competitive order books, especially on Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, and KuCoin.
