The Sei Giga Whitepaper V2 is a major update to the original Giga Whitepaper published in May 2025. It introduces significant performance improvements and new features to Sei Giga, redesigning Sei Network from first principles into a blockchain with the ideal architecture for onchain trading.
Read the full whitepaper at: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.14914
What's New in V2The updated whitepaper addresses the questions the original left open. Where v1 described how Giga achieves speed and throughput, V2 adds how it will solve for privacy and fairness.
Faster FinalityThe new whitepaper introduces even faster performance for Giga's Autobahn consensus protocol. It now targets sub-250ms finality, down from the 400ms target in the original whitepaper. This will be delivered while maintaining 200,000+ transactions / 5 gigagas per second throughput across the network’s decentralized validator set.
Pre-Execution Privacy and MEV ResistanceThe new whitepaper introduces Sedna, a private transaction layer.
Transactions on Sei Giga will be encoded into fragments and distributed across multiple proposer lanes. This will ensure that no proposer will see the full contents of a transaction until ordering is finalized, giving the network pre-execution privacy. In short, a trade will never be visible until it is executed.
It also introduces a deterministic mechanism for ordering transactions across proposer lanes. This will make transaction ordering transparent, predictable, and secure against manipulation by any individual proposer.
Ultimately, Sedna will almost completely remove the MEV and censorship risk that affects every other smart contract blockchain.
The original Giga breakthrough: multi-proposer consensusIn traditional blockchains, one validator at a time is chosen to propose a block. That validator collects transactions, builds the block, broadcasts it, and then everyone votes on it across multiple rounds before it's finalized. Everything happens in sequence. You can't start the next block until the current one finishes the full propose-vote-vote-commit cycle. The speed of the entire chain is bottlenecked by one proposer at a time and multiple rounds of back-and-forth messaging.
Autobahn throws out that sequential model. Instead of one leader proposing blocks while everyone else waits, every validator will run its own "lane" and continuously stream batches of transactions in parallel. Each validator will propose independently and get a lightweight proof that its data is available from a small quorum of peers -- without requiring everyone to download everything upfront. A designated leader will then periodically take a snapshot called a "tip cut" that will capture the latest batch from every lane and commit them all at once through a streamlined two-phase vote.
This is what will enable Sei Giga’s immense throughput. Instead of being limited to however many transactions one validator can fit into one block per round, every validator will produce data simultaneously, and the consensus layer will synthesize their outputs together, sorting them deterministically by priority fee. The raw throughput ceiling will go from "one proposer's bandwidth" to the aggregate bandwidth of the entire validator set.
The Optimal Design for Institutional TradingBlockchains offer significant advantages over traditional trading venues. These include near instant settlement, shared liquidity, composability and 24/7 markets. However, in spite of these advantages, traditional traders are yet to adopt blockchain technology at scale.
For a trading environment to be successful, it has to be predictable. Trading on layer one blockchains today, because of the risks posed by MEV and possible censorship from block builders, is not predictable. This makes today’s blockchains fundamentally unsuitable for institutional traders.
When trading has taken off onchain, it has done so on venues which make the tradeoff of adopting centralized designs in order to make market structure more predictable. However in doing so, these exchanges expose themselves to the same centralization risks that affect legacy trading venues.
Sei's Giga upgrade will take the completely novel approach of introducing a multi-proposer architecture, and combining it with a private transaction dissemination layer. The result will be the first layer one blockchain that is actually suited for trading at scale. Sei Giga will offer pre-execution privacy, fair transaction ordering, MEV resistance, and censorship resistance while ensuring high throughput and near instant settlement.
Sei Giga will be the blockchain for trading.
What's NextSei Labs is well underway with the Giga Upgrade. Progress towards Giga can be followed on Sei Labs’ Giga Roadmap.
The whitepaper's future work section outlines several areas of active development:
Full transaction fee mechanism Autobahn consensus upgradesNew tokenomics for the SEI token The Giga upgrade will be the most complex blockchain upgrade since Ethereum's Merge. The network will transition to the full Giga protocol without regenesis and without taking any element of the network offline.

Disclaimer: The roadmap is subject to change based on development progress, market feedback, and other factors. Actual timelines, figures, and outcomes may vary.
@SeiNetwork has published the second version of its Giga Whitepaper, the first revision since the original dropped in May 2025. The update tightens one of the network's core performance targets and adds a new transaction privacy layer aimed at institutional traders.
What Changed in V2The headline change is a tighter finality target. The revised whitepaper pushes the goal down to sub-250ms, an improvement on the sub-400ms figure that has been the benchmark since the original Giga paper. The throughput target of 200,000+ transactions per second is unchanged from V1. Sei Labs first published the Giga whitepaper on May 19, 2025, positioning the project as the first multi-proposer EVM layer-1 blockchain. V2 refines that foundation rather than replacing it.
The upgrade is also designed to land without a regenesis or taking the network offline, reducing disruption for applications already running on the chain.
Sedna: A Private Transaction Layer Across Multiple LanesThe most significant new addition in V2 is Sedna, a private transaction layer built to reduce MEV and front-running risk. Rather than broadcasting full transaction data to all proposers at once, Sedna breaks each transaction into fragments and distributes them across separate proposer lanes. No single proposer can see the full details of a trade before it is finalized. Execution then follows a deterministic order once enough fragments are available. The practical effect is that would-be front-runners cannot read a pending transaction in time to act on it.
Paired with deterministic ordering across those lanes, Sei says the design nearly eliminates MEV and censorship risk, two concerns that have historically kept institutional trading activity away from most layer-1 blockchains. The upgrade targets all three factors institutions care about: latency, throughput, and predictable ordering.
Sei Labs co-founder Jayendra Jog previewed the efficiency case for the approach in a mid-June interview, noting that Sedna would deliver roughly 90 percent of the privacy benefits of a full zero-knowledge layer while requiring just 0.01 percent or less of the implementation effort. The full technical specification is set out in the Sedna protocol research paper on arXiv. The public milestone tracker for the full Giga rollout is available at giga.seilabs.io.

Decentralized exchange Oxium will shut down on Aug. 1 after prolonged weak market conditions made the business financially unsustainable, becoming the latest casualty of a difficult environment for smaller crypto trading platforms.
In a statement published on X, the team behind the Sei-based decentralized exchange said declining revenue had made it impossible to continue operating despite years of development on the network. Users have been advised to close positions, cancel open orders and withdraw assets before the web interface is taken offline on Aug. 1, although the protocol’s smart contracts will remain accessible for recovering funds.
The closure underscores the pressure facing smaller decentralized finance protocols as trading volumes remain concentrated among a handful of dominant exchanges and liquidity providers. Even as Bitcoin trades near historic highs, many DeFi applications continue to struggle to generate sufficient fees to sustain development teams.
Team Cites Revenue Collapse Rather Than Security Problems Unlike many recent DeFi shutdowns triggered by hacks or exploits, Oxium said its closure is purely financial.
“After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to wind down Oxium,” the team wrote. “Prolonged unfavorable market conditions have left our revenue too low to sustain operations, and running the platform is no longer financially viable.”
The team emphasized that user assets remain secure because they are held in smart contracts rather than under the platform’s custody.
Users have until Aug. 1, 2026 to use the Oxium interface to withdraw assets. After that date, funds will remain recoverable directly through the underlying smart contracts, although the process will become significantly more technical.
Oxium Wind Down Details Reason for closure Insufficient revenue Blockchain Sei Interface shutdown Aug. 1, 2026 User assets Remain recoverable through smart contracts User action requested Withdraw funds before interface closes Crypto Recovery Has Not Reached Every Protocol The announcement illustrates an increasingly visible divide within the digital asset industry.
While Bitcoin, stablecoins and institutional infrastructure businesses have experienced renewed growth during 2025 and 2026, many smaller decentralized applications continue facing declining activity. Liquidity has become increasingly concentrated among larger exchanges, perpetual futures platforms and dominant DeFi protocols, making it difficult for smaller venues to attract sufficient trading volume.
Why Smaller DeFi Platforms Continue To Shut Down
Challenge Impact Lower trading volumes Reduced protocol fees Liquidity concentration Harder to attract traders High development costs Operating losses increase Competition from major exchanges Revenue pressure intensifies For decentralized exchanges, transaction fees remain the primary source of operating revenue. When trading activity slows, protocol income can fall rapidly while engineering, infrastructure and security costs remain largely fixed.
Oxium’s statement suggests that the platform ultimately reached the point where operating expenses exceeded sustainable fee generation.
Users Retain Custody Of Assets The team stressed that customer assets remain safe because the protocol operates through smart contracts.
Rather than freezing withdrawals, Oxium is encouraging users to exit while its interface remains online. After Aug. 1, users would need to interact directly with blockchain contracts to recover assets, a process that typically requires greater technical knowledge and specialized wallet tools.
That distinction highlights one of decentralized finance’s key structural differences from centralized exchanges. Even when a protocol’s operating company closes, properly designed smart contracts can continue functioning independently of the original development team.
FinanceFeeds recently covered MoonPay’s acquisition of AI finance platform Entendre, Galaxy Digital’s investment in institutional crypto lending infrastructure, Zero Hash’s expansion into staking infrastructure, Payward’s continued global licensing expansion, and Bitcoin Suisse’s MiCAR licence. While institutional crypto infrastructure continues attracting investment and regulatory approvals, Oxium’s closure shows that smaller DeFi trading venues remain under significant commercial pressure.
Industry Consolidation Continues Oxium’s shutdown reflects a broader consolidation trend across digital assets, where capital and liquidity continue flowing toward larger, better-capitalized platforms.
For users, the immediate priority is withdrawing assets before the interface disappears. For the industry, the announcement serves as another reminder that successful blockchain technology alone does not guarantee a sustainable business model if trading activity and protocol revenue fail to reach critical scale.
Takeaway Oxium is closing because its business became economically unsustainable, not because of a security breach or technical failure. The announcement highlights an increasingly important reality in crypto markets: while institutional adoption continues accelerating, many smaller DeFi platforms remain unable to generate enough trading activity to support long-term operations. As liquidity concentrates around larger ecosystems, commercial viability is becoming just as important as technological innovation.
Serenity: Robots will be the next major trend, and AI data center exposure is also poised to benefit from the mass adoption of humanoid robots.
In a post, Serenity stated that robotics will be the next key growth area. Citing March PitchBook data referenced by a16z, it reported that both deal volume and investment value in the robotics sector are rising rapidly. A positive factor is that many AI data center-related exposures often also have exposure to the scaling of humanoid robots. For example, DRAM and NAND in the storage space can be used for inference and storage in humanoid robots; DFB lasers in the photonics space are applied in FMCW LiDAR for vision and perception. Serenity noted that most related exposures are currently concentrated in upstream components or in-house projects of large firms including Amazon and Tesla. It believes that the global IPO season for pure-play robotics or humanoid robot companies will be worth watching from the second half of 2026 to 2027.

Viewpoint: If AI sales grow strongly, the return on capital expenditure for AI operators is expected to turn positive within 24 months.
Renowned researcher Oguz Erkan’s data analysis indicates that based on current capital costs, operating margins of hyperscale cloud service providers, and depreciation periods, the return on investment (ROI) for AI capital expenditure will turn positive when AI revenue reaches roughly 1.7 to 1.8 times depreciation and amortization. Currently, AI revenue is approximately 1.2 times capital expenditure depreciation. Erkan projects that if AI sales grow robustly, the ROI is expected to turn positive within 24 months.

A renowned Chinese hedge fund manager has warned that global AI stocks have formed a "super bubble".
Two renowned Chinese hedge fund managers have warned that global AI stocks have formed a "super bubble" and are on the verge of bursting. Yang Dong, founder of Ningquan Asset, explicitly warned in the "2026 Semi-Annual Investment Report" released on June 23 that a "super bubble" has formed in global AI stocks, and a crash may be imminent. The report bluntly stated that a large number of hot A-share stocks are very likely to drop by 80% or even over 90% in the future, adding that "if one lacks the ability to pull chestnuts out of the fire and emerge unscathed, taking such risks would be irresponsible to investors." Yang Dong accurately predicted the peak of the 2007 bull market. Separately, Li Bei, founder of Shanghai-based Banxia Investment, noted in her June 21 monthly report "To Banxia Investors" that "the triggering conditions for the AI bubble to burst have emerged." Taking Anthropic's ARR (Annualized Run Rate) as an example, she argued that revenue growth at downstream model companies has slowed significantly, their full-year results are likely to fall well short of market expectations, and a subsequent decline in capital expenditure is highly probable.

Hong Kong government: Regulated stablecoins are expected to launch between mid-year and the second half of this year.
Hong Kong’s government stated in a written response to the Legislative Council that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) granted stablecoin issuer licenses to two bank-backed institutions in April 2026. Per the institutions’ existing business plans, Hong Kong’s regulated stablecoins are projected to launch between mid-year and the second half of this year. The government added that the HKMA has sent notices to unregulated entities conducting stablecoin issuance in the market to clarify legal requirements, and will continue to follow up on related matters; individual cases may be referred to the police or the Department of Justice if necessary. Additionally, the government will submit a bill to the Legislative Council this year to establish a regulatory regime for virtual asset trading, custody, advisory and management service providers.
PANews June 26 news, Sei ecosystem DeFi lending platform Oxium announced it will cease operations, reportedly due to prolonged unfavorable market conditions resulting in insufficient revenue, leaving its current operations financially unsustainable. Oxium stated that assets users deposited on the platform remain fully intact and still under their own control, but it hopes users plan ahead and complete withdrawals in an orderly manner. The frontend is scheduled to shut down on August 1, 2026, and users are advised to cancel all outstanding orders, close existing positions, and withdraw assets from the platform.
While most of the crypto market sold off on June 25, Sei Network's native token $SEI moved in the opposite direction, trading near $0.058 and up roughly 9% on the day as Bitcoin slipped under $60,000 and most major altcoins stayed firmly in the red.
The move was backed by real volume. CoinGecko data shows 24-hour trading volume for $SEI surged around 190% to approximately $72 million, confirming the price action was not a low-liquidity drift. @SeiNetwork was among the day's clear standouts in an otherwise weak market.
Short squeeze and Giga hype fuel the rally Two catalysts appear to be driving the outperformance. The first is a short squeeze that built around the $0.06 level, forcing leveraged bears to cover their positions and amplifying the upside move. The second is growing anticipation around the network's upcoming Giga upgrade.
Sei Labs published the Giga roadmap in late May 2026, targeting over 200,000 transactions per second and sub-400 millisecond finality. At the core of the performance leap is a protocol called Autobahn, a multi-proposer consensus mechanism. Traditional blockchains rely on a single block proposer at a time, creating a bottleneck. Autobahn lets multiple validators propose blocks simultaneously, which is how throughput scales from thousands to hundreds of thousands of TPS.
For context, Sei's prior throughput benchmarks sat in the range of 5,000 to 12,500 TPS. The Giga upgrade represents roughly a 40 to 50-fold increase in raw capacity. Beyond consensus, the upgrade also introduces asynchronous execution, allowing the network to process transactions in parallel and decouple execution from the consensus layer itself.
Phased rollout, not a single launch The upgrade is not a single event. Sei Labs is rolling it out progressively throughout 2026, with no single definitive launch date, and has set up a public milestone tracker at giga.seilabs.io.
Alongside the Giga upgrade, Sei Network committed in 2026 to becoming an EVM-only chain, deprecating its original CosmWasm smart contracts and native Cosmos transaction types through community-approved proposal SIP-3. Binance confirmed support for the full transition to EVM compatibility starting June 1.
The day's price action suggests the market is beginning to price in that technical roadmap, at least in the short term. Whether the rally holds will depend on whether the Giga milestones continue to arrive on schedule and whether broader crypto sentiment improves.

UBS and TD Cowen sharply raise Arm’s target price, betting on a revaluation of Arm’s AI data center CPU value.
Arm’s stock price pulled back this week alongside the high-valuation AI sector, though some Wall Street analysts say the correction does not alter the company’s long-term standing in AI data centers. UBS sharply raised Arm’s price target from $260 to $470, retaining its Buy rating; TD Cowen lifted its target from $265 to $475, also keeping a Buy recommendation. Both firms share the view that as agentic AI evolves, CPUs could gain greater importance in data center architectures, rather than GPUs continuing to monopolize the investment narrative. TD Cowen believes that over the long term, CPUs could hold a more strategic position in certain AI workloads. UBS, meanwhile, emphasizes that the real debate in the market centers on the revenue potential of Arm’s self-developed or independent CPU business. The bank projects Arm’s CPU-related revenue could reach around $14 billion by 2030, though the company itself has stated this business will not have a material impact on its finances until fiscal 2028. Arm’s strengths lie in low latency and energy efficiency—metrics that major cloud providers are increasingly prioritizing as they expand AI infrastructure. Even with its stock pulling back from recent highs in the short term, analysts still view Arm as one of the key beneficiaries of the server CPU upgrade cycle.

Stifel: U.S. economy in "overheated expansion" as AI investment cycle outweighs consumer pressure
U.S. large diversified financial services holding company Stifel has raised its year-end S&P 500 target and rolled out a stock allocation framework for a "high-growth, high-inflation" environment. The firm lifted its year-end S&P 500 target to 7,800 points, noting the U.S. economy is entering a "running hot" state—where economic growth is strengthening alongside mounting inflationary pressure. Stifel’s models show U.S. growth momentum is picking up while inflation momentum is clearly overheating, a trend that will reshape the market’s leading sector structure in the second half of the year. Instead of traditional consumer sectors, Stifel’s top picks are investment-led cyclical industries, including banks, transportation, materials, energy, semiconductors, software and equipment. The firm adds that fixed-asset investment in AI remains on the rise: large tech firms including Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and Google are projected to combine for roughly $725 billion in total capital expenditures in 2026, some $100 billion higher than prior estimates. This means the AI investment chain is likely to continue outperforming the consumption chain squeezed by inflation. Stifel advises investors to reduce exposure to discretionary consumer, consumer staples, communication services and some financial services sectors, as these areas see weaker earnings revisions. Conversely, the firm favors cyclical value stocks and hedges with defensive value sectors such as insurance, autos, energy and banks.

The Ethereum network stands as a revolutionary innovation in the realm of blockchain technology. It serves as a robust platform for building and deploying decentralized applications (dApps), fueling the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi) and transforming the way we interact with financial services. However, with its widespread adoption and increasing popularity, Ethereum has faced challenges of scalability and high transaction fees, leading to the development of Layer 2 scaling solutions to enhance its capabilities.
The Ethereum blockchain hums with innovation, birthing a new breed of digital assets known as ERC-20 tokens. These versatile gems unlock a treasure trove of possibilities, from voting rights in decentralized communities to fueling innovative applications and even representing virtual currencies.
ERC-20 tokens are standardized building blocks on the Ethereum network. They adhere to a specific set of rules, ensuring seamless interaction and divisibility, making them perfect for trading and diverse applications. Think of them as digital coins, each with its unique identity and purpose, ready to be exchanged, used, and explored.
Whether you’re a seasoned crypto trader or a curious newcomer, navigating the thrilling world of ERC-20 trading can be challenging. This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and tools to confidently buy, sell, and trade these digital assets on the Ethereum network.
Some of the major and popular ERC-20 Tokens are Tether (USDT), Polygon (MATIC), Chainlink (LINK), Uniswap (UNI), Lido DAO (LIDO), Maker DAO (MKR), amongst many others.
Features of Ethereum Network Ethereum’s innovative design sets it apart from other networks, paving the way for a decentralized future of finance, applications, and beyond. Distinguished by its unique features and capabilities, it stands as one of the pioneers of Blockchain Technologies with standout features like:
The Power of Smart Contracts
The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) serves as the core engine that drives the execution of smart contracts on the Ethereum network. These smart contracts are self-executing code that automates various actions and agreements, forming the foundation of dApps and DeFi protocols. EVM compatibility is crucial for deploying and interacting with ERC-20 tokens, the most common token standard on Ethereum.
Unlike static databases, Ethereum boasts the groundbreaking ability to execute self-enforcing agreements through smart contracts. These programmable pieces of code automate a wide range of tasks, enabling trustless interactions and the creation of innovative applications in diverse sectors.
Layer 1 and Layer 2: Addressing Scalability
The Ethereum mainnet functions as a Layer 1 blockchain, the base layer where all transactions are ultimately settled. To address the scalability bottlenecks on this primary layer, Layer 2 solutions have emerged as a promising approach. These solutions aim to offload a significant portion of transaction processing off-chain, resulting in increased throughput, faster confirmation times, and significantly reduced transaction costs.
A Platform For Innovation
Ethereum isn’t just a cryptocurrency platform; it’s a fertile ground for developers to build revolutionary decentralized applications (dApps). From DeFi protocols automating financial transactions to NFTs unlocking new ownership models, the possibilities are endless.
Gas and Gas Fees: Fueling Transactions
Within the Ethereum network, gas refers to the computational power required to execute transactions and smart contracts. Users pay gas fees to compensate miners for processing their transactions. Gas fees are denominated in ETH, Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency.
Fueling Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
As a breeding ground for DeFi protocols, Ethereum empowers users to take control of their finances. Borrow, lend, invest, and trade without dependence on intermediaries, fostering a more open and inclusive financial system.
Ecosystem And Adoption
Unlike centralized projects, Ethereum thrives on a vibrant and passionate community. Developers, miners, and users participate in its governance and evolution, ensuring its development remains transparent and aligned with the community’s needs. This growing ecosystem includes decentralized exchanges (DEXs), gaming applications, and more.
Exploring Layer 2 Scaling Solutions
Layer 2 scaling solutions offer a promising pathway to address the scalability challenges faced by the Ethereum mainnet. They operate as secondary layers built on top of the main blockchain, providing alternative mechanisms for transaction processing and data storage.
Here are some common types of Layer 2 solutions:

How To Get Started on the Ethereum Network for ERC-20 Tokens.
To buy/sell ERC-20 Tokens, you’ll need a crypto wallet. There are several crypto wallets to choose from within the Ethereum network and, popular options include software wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, Binance WAllet, etc.
If you are using a desktop computer, you can download Google Chrome and install the MetaMask Wallet Chrome extension. If you prefer using your mobile phone, you can download MetaMask wallet via Google Play or the iOS App Store.
Just make sure that you are downloading the official Chrome extension and mobile app by visiting MetaMask Wallet’s website.
Once you’ve registered and set up your wallet via the Google Chrome Extension or via the mobile app you downloaded, MetaMask wallet allows users to manage their cryptocurrency wallets and interact with decentralized applications (DApps) to execute transactions on supported blockchain networks directly from their browsers. (Write down your seed phrase on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place!).
Now, you’ll need to connect and add Ethereum to your MetaMask wallet. You may refer to MetaMask support page for reference on their website.
Trading ERC-20 Tokens on the Ethereum Network. In order to ERC-20 token trades on the Ethereum network, you will need to buy ETH as your base currency. You can buy ETH on centralized exchanges such as Binance, copy your wallet address from Metamask, and then send the ETH from Binance to your Metamask wallet.
You can also purchase ETH directly within the Metamask wallet using traditional payment methods such as credit or debit cards, etc.
Just click on the “Buy/Sell” button within Metamask to open the interface. Here, you can put how much ETH (or any other token) you want to buy in terms of dollar terms, pick your payment method, and then click “Buy”.
Note that to buy crypto directly within Metamask, you will need to provide info such as your country and state. However, it is a straightforward process that only takes a minute.
It’ll only take a couple of minutes at most for your ETH to arrive in your wallet. Once the ETH arrives, you are all set to begin trading ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network. So, head over to UniSwap to get started on your trading journey.
How To Trade ERC-20 Tokens On The Ethereum Network Using UniSwap Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to trade Ethereum-based tokens directly from their wallets without the need for intermediaries or traditional order books.
Uniswap offers users a simple and straightforward way to buy and sell a wide variety of tokens. Be sure you’re on the Uniswap website to protect your wallet.
The first step is clicking on the “Launch App” button at the top right corner, as shown in the image below:
The next step is clicking on the connect wallet option on Uniswap at the top right corner, as shown in the image below:
Connect to your preferred wallet as shown below. (In this case, it’s Metamask):
Once connected, switch Metamask to the Ethereum network. (If you’re already on the Ethereum network, you do not need to switch):
After connecting MetaMask to the Ethereum network, go to Uniswap, and then you can start your ERC-20 Tokens on the Ethereum network using UniSwap.
Trading Ethereum Tokens On Uniswap The next step is to select your preferred tokens on the UnsSwap interface and since Uniswap operates on a token to token trading model, click on the “select token” button to select the trading pair you want to trade against.
For example, if you want to buy USDT using ETH, select ETH – USDT, enter the amount, then click on “swap” or “trade now” and confirm the transaction in your Metamask wallet. You can view the tokens in your wallet’s asset list.
Buying and Selling ERC-20 Tokens with the Metamask Wallet Ethereum Network users can also buy and sell tokens using the Metamask extension wallet already connected to the Ethereum network. To do this, make sure you’re connected to the Ethereum network and have ETH to swap and pay for gas fees. Then, navigate to the “Swap” button as shown below. This will take you to the Swap interface inside Metamask.
Using the image above as a guide, you can also search for tokens using the name or the contract address, just like on UniSwap. Input the amount of ETH you want to swap, confirm that you have the correct token, and then click “Swap.” Once the transaction is confirmed, the tokens you just bought will be sent to your wallet.
Tracking ERC-20 Token Prices on The Ethereum Network ERC-20 token holders and traders can take advantage of on-chain tools like DeFiLama to gain access to comprehensive market insights for specific tokens. These insights include price data and contract information, empowering users to make well-informed trading decisions based on reliable and up-to-date information.
Dextools is a comprehensive analytic resource for managing digital assets traded on ERC-20 Decentralized Exchanges. It’s a vibrant analytical cryptocurrency resource that provides statistical information on all leading blockchains and crypto projects.
Among these features, an exceptional one is the charting functionality, which delivers both real-time and historical price data for a wide range of tokens.
By utilizing these charts, users gain valuable insights into price trends, trading volumes, and other pertinent metrics. This enables them to pinpoint potential entry or exit points for their trades with precision and confidence. For example, let’s assume you’re $ETH for $LIDO, your trading pair is ETH/LIDO.
Note, Trading pairs serve as bridges between currencies. For example, the ETH/LIDOpair allows you to acquire $LIDO tokens using Ethereum (ETH).
Choose the pair that fits your funding situation and trading strategy. Consider using ETH if you already hold it, or fiat currencies if you’re venturing in fresh.
Let’s track the $LIDO token on Dextools, here’s what we have:
Conclusion Buying, selling, and trading ERC-20 tokens on the Ethereum network can be a thrilling adventure, opening doors to exciting investment opportunities and unlocking the potential of decentralized finance. However, it demands knowledge, caution, and a well-defined strategy.
This guide serves as your map and compass, but the ultimate treasure lies in your own learning and exploration. Navigate with confidence, trade responsibly, and remember that the most valuable asset in this journey is your knowledge.

TLDR PayPal is expanding PYUSD stablecoin across eight new blockchains through LayerZero’s Stargate Hydra bridge A permissionless version called PYUSD0 will be fully fungible with PYUSD and interoperable across blockchains PYUSD now supports Tron, Avalanche, Aptos, Abstract, Ink, Sei, Stable, and Stellar The US Treasury estimates the stablecoin market will grow from $295 billion to $2 trillion by 2028 PYUSD currently ranks 11th among stablecoins with a $1.3 billion market cap, far behind leaders USDT ($171.2B) and USDC ($74.3B) Payments giant PayPal has announced a major expansion of its PayPal USD (PYUSD) stablecoin to eight new blockchain networks. This move makes PYUSD one of the most widely accessible stablecoins in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
The expansion comes through two separate integrations. Seven new blockchains are being added via LayerZero’s Stargate Hydra bridge, while an eighth network, Stellar, is being added through a separate integration.
Through the LayerZero integration, PayPal is creating a permissionless version of its stablecoin called PYUSD0. According to LayerZero, this new token will be “fully fungible” with the original PYUSD and will enable interoperability across multiple blockchains.
The new blockchain networks receiving PYUSD support include Tron, Avalanche, Aptos, Abstract, Ink, Sei, and Stable. In addition, existing permissionless versions on Berachain (BBYUSD) and Flow (USDF) will upgrade to the PYUSD0 standard.
PayPal built the first global digital payment network at the onset of the internet age. In 2023, they were the first major fintech company to launch a stablecoin with PYUSD.
With PYUSD0, PayPal and LayerZero are working to drive greater availability of PYUSD across blockchains. pic.twitter.com/CWOc2CP6sA
— LayerZero (@LayerZero_Core) September 18, 2025
The Technical Implementation Stargate Hydra will serve as the interface for PYUSD0 transfers between networks. LayerZero will enable the minting, burning, and deployment of the PYUSD0 tokens across these blockchains.
This expansion builds upon PayPal’s existing support for Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum networks. The addition of Stellar was announced separately on the same day.
The Stellar blockchain is known for its low fees and five-second transaction finality. It has gained popularity in developing countries where people seek to save money in US dollars.
LayerZero CEO Bryan Pellegrino highlighted the importance of this integration.
“Anyone who self-custodies their PYUSD can move it seamlessly between blockchains without needing to rely on the existing and centralized banking infrastructure,” he said.
Market Position and Growth Potential Despite this expansion, PYUSD still has ground to cover in the competitive stablecoin market. According to CoinGecko data, PYUSD currently ranks 11th among stablecoins with a market capitalization of $1.3 billion.
This places it well behind industry leaders Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC), which hold market caps of $171.2 billion and $74.3 billion respectively. USDT currently supports 12 blockchain networks, while USDC is available on 25 different chains.
Other major competitors include Ethena USDe, USDS, and Dai, which have market caps ranging from $4.5 billion to $13.9 billion.
The broader stablecoin market is expected to see major growth in coming years. The US Treasury estimated in April that the market would expand from its current $295 billion to approximately $2 trillion by 2028.
This growth projection has been further supported by recent regulatory developments. In July, US President Trump signed the GENIUS Act, which is considered one of the most comprehensive stablecoin regulations to date.
PayPal initially launched PYUSD in August 2023, marking its first major move into the cryptocurrency space. The stablecoin is issued by Paxos, a regulated financial institution specializing in blockchain infrastructure.
PYUSD is now live on Stellar.⚡️Welcome to low-fee transfers, ~5s finality, anchors for fiat ramps, and Stellar Asset Contract-compatible contracts – built for real payments.#PYUSD #stablecoin https://t.co/qSUmT4GuXM
— PayPal Developer (@paypaldev) September 18, 2025
LayerZero’s CEO described stablecoins as cryptocurrency’s “killer app” and suggested that integrations like PayPal’s “make it obvious that we are at the start of a global financial market that breaks down borders and works around the clock.”
The goal of this integration, according to Pellegrino, is to create “better money experiences utilizing modern technology.”
Tron has been making headlines after bouncing strongly from its recent low. On September 6, the token slipped to fresh cycle lows, raising concerns among traders. However, since then, Tron has staged an impressive comeback, climbing more than 18% and now testing local resistance levels. This rebound signals renewed strength in the network and growing investor confidence in its role within the broader crypto ecosystem.
Adding fuel to this recovery, Tron announced yesterday that PayPal USD (PYUSD) will now be available on the TRON network through Stargate Hydra as a permissionless token, PYUSD0, leveraging LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) Standard. This integration reflects the joint efforts of PayPal and LayerZero to expand PYUSD’s availability across multiple blockchains, ensuring the stablecoin can seamlessly reach markets and users through LayerZero’s powerful distribution network.
The addition of PYUSD0 to Tron’s ecosystem not only strengthens its relevance in the stablecoin market but also demonstrates the chain’s ability to attract high-profile integrations. With stablecoins becoming a central part of global digital finance, Tron’s alignment with PayPal USD marks a key milestone that could reinforce adoption, boost liquidity, and sustain momentum in the weeks ahead.
Tron Gains Momentum With PYUSD0 Expansion According to a recent announcement from LayerZero, the launch of PYUSD0 marks a significant step forward for PayPal USD and its reach across the crypto ecosystem. PYUSD0 extends PayPal’s stablecoin beyond its native deployments on Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar, bringing it to Abstract, Aptos, Avalanche, Ink, Sei, Stable, and Tron, with even more chains expected to be added in the near future. Furthermore, existing permissionless versions on Berachain (BYUSD) and Flow (USDF) will upgrade to PYUSD0, creating a unified and standardized deployment of the stablecoin across multiple networks.
Importantly, no action will be required by end users. Whether someone holds PYUSD or PYUSD0, the result is one unified PayPal USD stablecoin—fully fungible and interoperable across blockchains. This guarantees seamless usability and ensures that holders can transact, transfer, and integrate PYUSD in applications without worrying about compatibility issues.
For Tron, this development is particularly meaningful. The chain has long been a hub for stablecoin activity, and the integration of PYUSD0 adds to its reputation as a key player in the digital finance ecosystem. By joining PayPal and LayerZero’s multi-chain strategy, Tron stands to benefit from increased liquidity, adoption, and developer activity within its ecosystem.
With PYUSD0, Tron not only secures a stronger position in cross-chain finance but also highlights its ability to attract mainstream integrations that resonate with both retail and institutional users. As the stablecoin market expands, this move could drive long-term adoption and strengthen Tron’s place in the next phase of crypto growth.
TRX Price Analysis Tron (TRX) is showing resilience after its sharp dip earlier this month, with price currently trading around $0.3475. The chart highlights a steady recovery, supported by the 50-day moving average (blue line) at $0.3023, which has acted as dynamic support throughout the recent uptrend. This suggests that despite volatility, buyers remain in control and are defending key levels.
TRX consolidates below resistance | Source: TRXUSDT chart on TradingView Since June, TRX has gained significant momentum, moving from the $0.25 range toward its current levels. The recent correction in September briefly tested the $0.32 area, but pthe rice quickly bounced, indicating renewed demand. Both the 100-day ($0.2738) and 200-day ($0.2055) moving averages are trending upward, reinforcing the broader bullish structure.
Resistance remains visible in the $0.36–$0.38 zone, which capped the last rally in late August. A breakout above this level would likely open the path toward $0.40 and beyond, signaling strength in line with the broader market’s optimism following the Fed’s recent policy shift.

Announcements Sei's recent upgrade to v6.4 included the mechanism to disable the transfer of IBC assets. If you hold Kava USDT on Sei, here's what's next
As of today, there is approximately $145k in USDT bridged from Kava on Sei Network. If you hold any Kava USDT, you should swap or bridge it out before the governance proposal to disable inbound IBC transfers passes.
This is part of the broader SIP-3 transition for upgrading the Sei Protocol into an EVM-only chain. To clarify: v6.4 has only shipped the protocol-level ability to disable inbound IBC transfers, but holders should bridge or swap now.
Once the follow-on governance proposal activates this change, Cosmos-native assets like Kava USDT will no longer be bridgeable into Sei, and holders may lose access to their assets.
If you're a holder of Kava USDT on Sei, here are your options:
SwapYou may be able to swap your Kava USDT for an EVM-native stablecoin using Sapyhre or Symphony. Slippage may vary depending on market conditions and liquidity. The mention of these platforms do not constitute an endorsement, and users should do their own research before using any third-party service.
Bridge outYou can bridge your Kava USDT back to the Kava chain using a frontend like Skip:Go. From there, you can use the asset natively or bridge to another chain. The mention of this platform does not constitute an endorsement, and users should do their own research before using any third-party service.
For suppliers of Kava USDT on DeFi protocolsIf you have Kava USDT supplied on any DeFi protocol on Sei, you should first wind down those positions and withdraw them before swapping or bridging out. Failure to do so before the governance change may result in the inability to access your supplied assets.

Sei [SEI] recently rolled out a network upgrade that fully enables compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, a move the market has largely interpreted as bullish.
At the time of writing, SEI has gained 11%, with further upside still in play. However, much of the current momentum stems from derivatives activity rather than organic spot demand.
Derivatives activity drives price action SEI’s latest rally has been closely tied to increased positioning in the perpetual futures market, where traders appear to be leaning into the upgrade narrative with long exposure.
At the time of writing, Open Interest (OI) rose sharply over the past day, with more than $10 million in leveraged positions added. A significant share of this capital tilts toward long positions, as reflected in a positive funding rate during the same period.
Source: CoinGlass Other derivatives’ indicators reinforce this trend. Liquidation data showed that short traders bore the brunt of market pressure over the past 24 hours, with approximately $72,000 in positions wiped out, while long-side liquidations remained comparatively limited.
In derivatives markets, this pattern often reflects upward price movement, as the forced closure of short positions tends to push prices higher.
Upgrade strengthens Sei’s fundamentals The rally also draws support from underlying network developments. Sei Network v0.64, referred to as the Giga Upgrade, introduces full EVM compatibility, allowing developers to deploy and run Ethereum-based applications directly on Sei.
This development improves interoperability with the Ethereum ecosystem, enabling more seamless interaction between applications across both networks.
At the same time, the upgrade signals a structural shift away from the Cosmos ecosystem. According to the release notes, the update includes:
“A switch to disable inbound IBC transfers so the network can stop Cosmos-native assets from being bridged in.”
Alongside this transition, Sei reported performance improvements, including a roughly 20% enhancement in block times and increased overall network throughput.
Market structure points to downside risk Despite the bullish momentum, market structure suggests caution.
Liquidation heatmaps indicate that a concentration of clusters sits below the current price level. These clusters represent zones with dense unfilled orders and often act as magnets for price movement.
Source: CoinGlass With a heavier concentration of liquidity positioned beneath the current range, the probability of a short-term pullback increases.
Still, these zones do not always dictate trend direction. If buying pressure continues to build, SEI could maintain its upward trajectory and extend gains in the near term.
Final Summary SEI recorded roughly $10 million in capital inflows in the perpetual futures market as the Giga Upgrade went live. Liquidation clusters, however, still point to a potential downswing based on current capital positioning.
Liquidity is rapidly exiting high-speed Layer 1 networks as veteran investors search for the top crypto to invest this week that offers more than just transaction speed. While previous cycles focused on theoretical throughput, the current market is rewarding “PayFi” protocols that bridge the gap between digital wallets and global bank accounts. This rotation is driving massive volume toward the DOGECHAIN ecosystem, where the $DOGEBALL token is setting a new standard for functional utility in decentralized finance.
The emergence of the DOGEBALL crypto presale 2026 has caught the attention of Sei traders who are looking for the next multi-bagger opportunity. By integrating a custom Ethereum Layer 2 with a native fiat off-ramp, this project solves the most significant pain point in the industry: the difficulty of converting digital rewards into spendable local currency. In the following sections, we will analyze why this specific project is outpacing traditional altcoins and how early participants are positioning themselves for the 2nd May launch.
From Pennies To Profits: How Sei Turned Doubters Into Millionaires Following Its Historic Launch Sei remains a masterclass in why entering a specialized infrastructure project early is the most reliable path to significant wealth. When it first launched, many market participants were skeptical of its niche focus on trading speed, yet those who recognized the value of its technical moat secured tokens at initial prices that eventually multiplied into life-changing portfolios. It proved that once a project demonstrates a clear solution to a multi-billion dollar problem, the market rewards it with exponential liquidity and a top-tier ranking.
The success of Sei was driven by a marketing strategy that targeted the specific needs of high-frequency traders, creating an ecosystem that felt exclusive yet highly functional. If you missed the opportunity to buy into Sei before its massive expansion, the good news is that the crypto world is always bringing new chances. The focus for smart money has now shifted to the PayFi utility offered by the DOGEBALL crypto presale 2026, which applies the same “speed and efficiency” logic to the global remittance and gaming industries.
DOGEBALL Utility: Send Global Payments Directly To Bank Accounts Via DOGECHAIN Layer 2 DOGEBALL ($DOGEBALL) is the native utility engine of DOGECHAIN, a custom Ethereum Layer 2 designed specifically for the high-frequency demands of global payments and gaming. Unlike standard tokens, this project features DOGEPAY, a system that allows users to send crypto while the receiver gets fiat currency directly in their bank account. This removes the need for intermediaries like PayPal or traditional banks, eliminating high fees and the typical 5% to 10% cuts taken by middlemen in the remittance industry.
Investors are prioritizing this top crypto to invest this week because it provides a 100% audited, secure infrastructure with near-zero gas fees. The token is the lifeblood of the ecosystem, used for transaction fees, staking rewards, and as the primary currency for a play-to-earn gaming hub with a $1M prize pool. This creates constant, organic buy pressure. When you consider that DOGECHAIN is EVM-compatible and bridge-ready for Ethereum and Polygon, it is clear why 800+ participants have already joined the movement in just a few months.
Maximize Your ROI: The 3650% Growth Potential And 35% Bonus Code PAY35 Explained The DOGEBALL crypto presale 2026 is a strategically focused 4-month event that went live on 2nd January 2026 and will conclude on 2nd May 2026. This limited timeframe is designed to help investors maximize their capital efficiency in just a few months. Currently in Stage 2 with a price of only $0.0004, the token is scheduled to launch at $0.015. By investing at today’s rates, you are positioning yourself for a massive ROI as the project transitions from its initial stage to a public listing on major exchanges.
To further increase your holdings, the project has released a time-limited bonus code: PAY35. Using this code during your purchase grants you an extra 35% $DOGEBALL tokens immediately. When you factor in this bonus alongside the projected launch price, the potential for profit is significantly higher than standard market opportunities. This is a rare chance to accumulate a high-utility asset at a fraction of its future value before the 2nd May deadline triggers the final price appreciation and market entry.
Join The DOGECHAIN Elite: Simple Steps To Secure Your Tokens Before The Weekly VIP Cutoff Participating in the top crypto to invest this week is a straightforward process designed for both desktop and mobile users. First, connect your decentralized wallet to the official DOGEBALL website. Choose your preferred payment method from ETH, USDT, or BNB. Ensure you enter the bonus code PAY35 in the designated field to claim your 35% extra tokens, then confirm the transaction to see your balance update instantly on the user dashboard.
The community competition is reaching a fever pitch, especially with the Buyer of the Week rewards. Just last week, the leaderboard saw a fierce last-minute battle where a $2131 buy took the lead at 23:58 UTC, only to be overtaken at 23:59 UTC by a $2320 purchase. The winner was treated like a VIP, receiving a 100% additional token bonus on their entire spend for the week. This massive value incentive is a core reason why the project has already raised over $217K+ in record time.
Final Verdict: Why The DOGEBALL Presale Is The Smartest Move For Investors In 2026 The migration from general-purpose blockchains to DOGEBALL represents the market’s growing appetite for projects that solve real-world problems. We have seen how Sei rewarded those who understood its value early, and the DOGEBALL crypto presale 2026 is following a similar trajectory but with added utility in the PayFi and Gaming sectors. With the presale nearing its end on 2nd May, the window to secure tokens at $0.0004 is rapidly closing as the 800+ participant count continues to climb.
This is your opportunity to invest in a project that offers instant fiat off-ramps, zero hidden fees, and a high-performance Layer 2 blockchain. By using the code PAY35, you are not just buying a token; you are securing a larger share of a massive ecosystem at a discounted rate. Whether you are interested in the $1M gaming prize pool or the revolution in global remittances, DOGEBALL stands out as the definitive top crypto to invest this week for any serious digital asset portfolio.

TMO Labs, a Web3 fintech company, today announced an integration with Sei Network, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain, aimed at bringing blockchain technology into Korea’s everyday payments and financial infrastructure.
As part of the integration, TMO Labs will use Sei as the core blockchain behind TMO Wallet, with a focus on expanding real-world use cases across consumer payments, rewards, and digital finance in Korea.
Sei was chosen for its ability to handle real-time payment environments. With sub-second finality and high throughput, it supports large-scale activity and frequent low-value transactions without sacrificing the speed and reliability users expect from modern payment systems.
TMO Labs is a Korean payment infrastructure company with deep experience in transit payments, mobile payments, loyalty systems, and consumer financial services. Built on this foundation, TMO Labs develops platforms that connect digital assets with real-world utility.
Its flagship product, TMO Wallet, is already connected to DaemDaem, a widely used transportation top-up and lifestyle rewards app in Korea, and has access to a large existing user base. TMO Wallet is also designed to connect with major domestic payment and loyalty ecosystems, including Naver Pay, Payco, Happy Point, L.POINT, and transportation-linked payment rails such as TMONEY and EZL.
Even accounting for overlapping users, these platforms represent tens of millions of consumer touchpoints across Korea’s payment and rewards landscape.
Sei will serve as the blockchain layer powering TMO Wallet’s next phase of real-world financial utility. Users will be able to hold Sei-based digital assets, including stablecoins, within the wallet and link those assets to TMO Labs’ point and payment infrastructure for use in everyday transactions.
This will enable a more unified wallet experience where users can manage digital assets, rewards points, and payment balances in one place, and apply them across real-life use cases such as retail purchases, online commerce, and transportation top-ups.
This makes it a strong fit for use cases like transit, convenience retail, and rewards-driven consumer activity, where fast confirmation and consistent performance matter.
More broadly, the integration is part of an effort to better connect blockchain infrastructure with the real economy—linking onchain assets to the payment and rewards systems people in Korea already use every day.
TMO Labs’ integration with Sei will span several key areas, including:
blockchain-based payment and rewards infrastructure;integration with Korean payment and loyalty services;expansion into transportation, mobility, and lifestyle use cases; anddevelopment of consumer-facing Web3 financial services grounded in real-world utility.Jin Kim, Founder of TMO Labs said, “This partnership marks an important step toward making blockchain technology a natural part of everyday financial activity and consumer spending in Korea. By combining TMO Labs’ payment infrastructure with Sei’s high-performance blockchain, we aim to deliver a practical digital finance experience centered on real usage.”
Justin Barlow, Executive Director of Sei Development Foundation added, “TMO Labs is closely connected to Korea’s payment, transit, and rewards infrastructure. Through this integration, TMO Labs is well positioned to deliver one of the most meaningful examples of blockchain being applied in real consumer environments.”

About Sei Network
Sei is a blockchain designed for fast, cheap financial transactions, combining the network effects of Ethereum with the performance of Solana. Sei has processed more than five billion transactions across more than 95 million wallets and has become the #1 EVM chain by number of active users. Learn more at www.sei.io.
TLDR: Sei Labs requires all exchanges to complete SEI EVM migration by June 15, 2026, or face fund loss. Every native sei1… address already has a paired EVM 0x… address on the same Sei blockchain. Four migration paths exist, ranging from automated smart contracts to fully manual fund transfers. After deprecation, Cosmos RPC endpoints and address associations will be permanently unavailable. Sei Labs has announced a firm deadline for exchanges and custodians holding SEI tokens. The protocol is completing its transition to a unified, EVM-only architecture.
All platforms must migrate customer holdings from native Cosmos addresses to EVM addresses before June 15, 2026.
After that date, Cosmos and IBC-related functionality will be deprecated permanently. This move affects any service provider currently supporting SEI token deposits and withdrawals using native sei1… addresses.
What the Sei EVM Migration Means for Exchanges Sei EVM is not a separate blockchain from the Sei network. It is the same chain with a second method of interaction.
Any integration currently treating both as distinct chains must be consolidated before the Cosmos shutdown. Exchanges operating under a split integration model need to act quickly.
Every native sei1… address has a corresponding EVM 0x… address on the same chain. The pairing exists at the keypair level and does not require any funds to move.
Exchanges need to derive or look up the EVM address for each native wallet under management. They must also ensure addresses are associated on-chain before the deprecation date.
Sei Labs stated on X: “The core thing exchanges and custodians need to know: Sei EVM is not a separate chain. It’s the same chain with a second way to interact with it.”
As the Sei protocol completes its transition to a unified, EVM-only architecture, exchanges and custodians supporting the SEI token need to migrate customer holdings before support for Cosmos and IBC-related functionality is deprecated pic.twitter.com/7hUlyZJFDh
— Sei Labs (@Sei_Labs) May 7, 2026
After June 15, 2026, Cosmos-native transaction interfaces will no longer be available. Exchanges will not be able to broadcast Cosmos-format transactions or interact via Cosmos RPC endpoints.
Address associations will also no longer be creatable through a Cosmos wallet. The FundsForwarder pattern will stop functioning for new deposits as well.
Four Migration Paths Available to Custodians Sei Labs has outlined four upgrade paths for exchanges and custodians to follow. The first involves combining native and EVM access points, which is the cleanest option available.
The exchange surfaces the EVM address corresponding to each existing native wallet directly to customers. No funds need to move, and no customer action is required.
The second option involves an automated forwarding contract deployed by the exchange. The FundsForwarder smart contract moves customer funds from the native side to the EVM wallet automatically.
The contract was audited by OtterSec and has a fixed destination address. That destination cannot be changed after deployment.
The third path is a user-directed forwarding contract, where customers initiate the transfer themselves. This triggers the contract to forward funds to the appropriate EVM wallet on the exchange.
It suits exchanges that cannot operate the contract directly. However, it still provides customers with an automated destination.
The fourth option is a fully manual transfer, requiring customers to withdraw and redeposit funds. Exchanges notify customers to move holdings to a self-custodial wallet first.
Customers then redeposit to the new EVM address provided by the exchange. Sei Labs confirmed the June 15 deadline is firm, and address association must be completed before deprecation.
PANews reported on May 15th that Sei has announced its participation in Mastercard's Cryptocurrency Partner Program. Previously, Mastercard and Sei co-authored a white paper exploring a new framework for blockchain-based assessment of financial services.

US Three Major Indexes Mixed, HOOD Down Over 6.11%

Poly Truth and Meme Punch stand out among below-$1 crypto picks alongside Sei in 2026 market watchlist.
Summary
Crypto markets are targeting sub-$1 tokens again, with Poly Truth, Meme Punch, and Sei gaining attention. Poly Truth is an AI prediction market tool that turns event data into probability-based reports using a 3-part system. Meme Punch is a play-to-earn meme game where players earn MEPU through PvP battles and in-game progression. A lot of coins sit well under $1, but only some have the setup to actually move toward it. The next crypto to hit $1 will probably come from a project that has more going for it than a low price tag.
This article looks at three picks worth a closer look right now. Poly Truth (PTRUE) and Meme Punch (MEPU) are still in presale, and Sei (SEI) is already listed and building momentum. Different stages, different stories, but all three are worth knowing.
Next crypto to hit $1: 3 Picks to watch Three projects worth a closer look for those who are scanning for the next sub-$1 token with real upside.
1. Poly Truth (PTRUE) Poly Truth is a prediction market intelligence tool. Not a trading platform, not a bot. The concept is that users receive AI-powered analysis that indicates which outcome the data actually supports and why, rather than speculating on prediction events.
The team constructed the platform’s three-part system around three characters. The Runners are AI bots that search the internet for information on current prediction events. The AI analyst known as the Starlet calculates probability scores, looks for patterns, and cross-references the sources. The Presenter delivers the final report in plain language.
A few things worth noting:
11.5 billion tokens are available, and it is based on Ethereum. Ten percent of the supply is reserved for staking rewards, and forty percent is allotted to the presale. Audited by Coinsult and SolidProof; both reports are available to the public. Team tokens have a 3-month cliff and a 12-month vest. ETH, BNB, SOL, USDT, USDC, card, and SEPA are among the available payment methods. 2. Meme Punch (MEPU) The play-to-earn cryptocurrency game Meme Punch is based on a simple idea. Play and get real cryptocurrency after winning, as opposed to holding a memecoin and waiting for a pump.
Five iconic meme-inspired characters — Pepe, Doge, Floki, Brett, and Pudgy Penguin — compete for supremacy in this medieval battle arena. Choose a knight, engage in PvP combat, move up the leaderboard, and receive in-game rewards in the form of MEPU. The token has actual use outside of speculation since it can be used within the game to access weapons, skins, and special abilities.
Features worth knowing:
Built on Ethereum, with a total supply of 10 billion MEPU. 40% of supply goes to the presale, with 14.5% for staking and 9.5% for in-game rewards. Marketing allocation sits at 16.5%, aimed at reaching gamers outside the crypto bubble. Payment options cover ETH, BNB, SOL, USDT, USDC, and card. 3. Sei (SEI) Sei is a high-speed Layer 1 blockchain built around fast trading, gaming, and other apps that need performance. After months of sideways action, it’s one of the better stories on exchanges right now.
The price action tells the recovery story clearly. SEI was sitting near $0.054 in mid-April, broke above the descending channel in early May, hit a peak of around $0.078 on May 10, and now trades near $0.067. That’s a 24% move off the April low, with the chart showing higher lows building.
A few catalysts are behind it:
The Giga upgrade is rolling out through 2026, targeting over 200,000 transactions per second with sub-400ms finality. EVM migration is set to complete by June 15, 2026, opening the door to Ethereum developers and apps. Xiaomi partnership has SEI’s wallet preinstalled on devices outside China and the US, exposing the chain to a massive global user base. Why these picks are worth watching Each of the three picks holds its position for a different reason, but they all have one thing in common. Price alone won’t be enough for the next cryptocurrency to reach $1. It will require a strong reason for consumers to continue purchasing.
In order to provide prediction market traders with a real advantage, Poly Truth is developing an AI research tool. A memecoin can be transformed into a playable game with in-game features with Meme Punch. Real adoption is being pushed by Sei through the Giga upgrade, an EVM migration, and a partnership with Xiaomi.
The point is the combination of stages. The smaller entry and larger upside, should they land, are offered by the presales. SEI provides a project that is already demonstrating ecosystem progress and recovery. It’s important to be aware of the various bets and timelines.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading below $76,000 at press time on Wednesday, cascading bearish pressure to altcoins. Total liquidations over the last 24 hours have surpassed $300 million, signaling mild volatility. Still, Worldcoin (WLD), Sei (SEI), and Terra Classic (LUNC) hold gains over the same period.
Bitcoin under $76,000 triggers $300 million liquidation spikeBitcoin hovers below $76,000 on Wednesday after a minor pullback the previous day, triggering a broader market pullback. CoinGlass data shows that total liquidations over the last 24 hours exceeded $300 million, led by $200 million in long liquidations, indicating a forced wipeout of bullish positions under pressure. However, the long-term data shows that the liquidations are within normal limits, suggesting a mild near-term volatility.
Crypto liquidation data. Source: CoinGlassTechnical outlook: Could Worldcoin, Sei, and Terra Luna sustain their gains?Worldcoin is down 4% at press time on Wednesday, after a 13% jump the previous day. The WLD token holds a bullish bias above the 50- and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, while the 200-day EMA at $0.4533 remains the next major topside cap.
Momentum backs the constructive tone, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) sitting in overbought territory near 71 and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) holding in positive territory with a positive histogram, which together suggest strong but increasingly stretched upside conditions.
The falling wedge breakout rally in WLD faces short-term resistance at the March 16 high of $0.4060, followed by the 200-day EMA at $0.4533.
WLD/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, immediate support is emerging at the 100-day EMA at roughly $0.3265 and the 50-day EMA near $0.2830.
SEI rises above its 50-day EMA at $0.0628 with its third day of recovery but remaining capped by the 100-day EMA at $0.0706, which maintains a neutral-to-bearish near-term bias while price stays within this band. The RSI at 57 and the MACD line rising toward its signal line for a bullish crossover, hint at upside traction.
On the topside, initial resistance is located at the 100-day EMA around $0.0706, and a daily close above this barrier would be needed to open the way toward the more substantial 200-day EMA resistance near $0.0984.
SEI/USDT daily price chart.On the downside, immediate support comes from the 50-day EMA at $0.0628; a clear break below this floor would expose the pair to deeper retracements, reinforcing the broader corrective tone.
Terra Classic is effectively pinned above the tight cluster of the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), supporting the bullish recovery.
The RSI at about 57 suggests mildly positive but not overextended momentum, while the flat MACD line nears the signal line, hinting at a lack of strong directional conviction in the near term.
A decisive close above $0.000091 would open the path above the $0.000100 psychological level, potentially targeting the $0.000125 mark.
LUNC/USDT daily price chart.Looking down, the 50-day and 100-day EMAs at $0.000072 and $0.000061, respectively, serve as immediate support levels.

He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

PANews reported on May 29th that Sei released its next-generation protocol upgrade roadmap, "Giga," which plans to significantly improve transaction performance by refactoring the execution client, state management, and consensus mechanism. Core upgrades include: the Ares execution client (optimizing performance through pipelined execution and asynchronous processing); Eidos state management (replacing Merkle trees with flat key-value stores, separating hot data from cold archives); the Autobahn consensus mechanism (aiming for 200,000 TPS and 400ms finality, with the internal testnet already achieving 5 Gigagas processing capacity); the Sedna private memory pool (introducing a cryptographic transaction propagation mechanism); and the gradual phasing out of the Cosmos SDK and CosmWasm through SIP-3, moving towards a pure EVM architecture.
Sei Network just drew a line in the sand. The layer-1 blockchain published its first public Giga upgrade roadmap on May 28, targeting over 200,000 transactions per second and sub-400 millisecond finality, numbers that would make it one of the fastest EVM-compatible chains in existence.
For context, Sei’s prior throughput benchmarks sat somewhere in the range of 5,000 to 12,500 TPS. The Giga upgrade represents roughly a 40 to 50-fold increase in raw capacity.
What Giga actually changes under the hood The upgrade isn’t a single switch-flip. Sei Labs is rolling out Giga progressively throughout 2026, with no single definitive launch date. Instead, the team has set up a public milestone tracker at giga.seilabs.io for anyone who wants to follow along.
At the core of the performance leap is something called Autobahn, a multi-proposer consensus protocol. Traditional blockchains rely on a single block proposer at a time, creating a bottleneck. Autobahn lets multiple validators propose blocks simultaneously, which is how you get from thousands of TPS to hundreds of thousands.
Beyond consensus, the upgrade introduces asynchronous execution. Rather than processing transactions sequentially within each block, the network can execute them in parallel, decoupling execution from the consensus layer itself. The result is 5 gigagas of throughput, a metric that measures how much computational work the chain can handle per second.

Sei Labs is also shipping a revamped EVM client, meaning the network retains full compatibility with Ethereum’s tooling ecosystem while dramatically outperforming Ethereum’s own execution layer. The current Sei mainnet already achieves sub-400ms block times in its optimized configuration, roughly 30 times faster than Ethereum’s finality. Giga aims to lock that speed in as a permanent floor, not a best-case scenario.
The upgrade also bundles in protections against Miner Extractable Value, the practice where validators reorder transactions to extract profit at users’ expense.
Giga also includes support for AI tooling, signaling that Sei Labs sees on-chain AI agents and automated strategies as a core use case for high-throughput infrastructure.
The road to Giga: what came before Sei Labs published the Giga whitepaper on May 19, 2025, branding the project as the first multi-proposer EVM layer-1 blockchain. That paper laid out the theoretical framework. What’s new is the concrete delivery timeline and public tracking mechanism.
Earlier in 2026, the network shipped versions 6.3 and 6.4, which focused on EVM improvements and block time enhancements. Those updates served as stepping stones, proving out individual components that Giga combines into a unified architecture overhaul.
The phased approach is deliberate. Sei is transitioning to an EVM-only model alongside the Giga rollout, which means shedding its previous CosmWasm execution environment entirely.
What this means for investors and traders The sub-400ms finality isn’t theoretical. It’s already live on mainnet. The Giga upgrade is extending proven capabilities rather than building from scratch, which changes the risk profile compared to a chain making promises with nothing shipped.
Institutional interest in high-speed blockchain infrastructure has been intensifying, particularly around tokenized assets and automated trading strategies. If Giga delivers on its benchmarks, Sei would occupy a relatively uncrowded niche: full EVM compatibility at speeds that rival purpose-built, non-EVM chains. Developers wouldn’t need to learn a new programming language or abandon Ethereum’s tooling ecosystem to access dramatically better performance.
Progressive rollouts mean investors will get real-time data on whether each milestone lands on schedule. The public tracker at giga.seilabs.io serves as a direct accountability mechanism, and the SEI token’s trajectory through the rest of 2026 will likely correlate directly with whether those milestones turn green on time.

TLDR: Sei stablecoin market cap reached an all-time high of $330.5M on May 15, the strongest month this year. Filtered stablecoin transaction volume hit $4.9B in May, marking the highest recorded volume in 2026. Feather’s vaults on Sei hit $59.8M in deposits and a record $24.3M in borrowed amounts on June 2. Sei RWAs recorded $151.8M minted in May, with Ondo’s U.S. Dollar Yield asset driving most activity. Sei stablecoin activity reached a milestone in May, with market cap hitting an all-time high of $330.5 million on May 15.
Filtered stablecoin transaction volume also climbed to $4.9 billion, the highest recorded this year. Both metrics point to renewed user engagement on the Sei network.
The figures suggest capital is both accumulating and actively changing hands on the blockchain.
Capital Storage and Transaction Volume Tell Two Different Stories Stablecoin market cap and transaction volume measure distinct aspects of network activity. Market cap reflects how much stablecoin value sits on Sei at any given moment.
Transaction volume, however, captures how frequently that value moves between wallets. Together, they offer a fuller picture of how the network is being used.
A rising market cap typically means users are parking capital for yield or incentive purposes. On Sei, this aligns with Feather’s vaults hitting a deposit high of $59.8 million.
Borrowed amounts on Feather also reached a record $24.3 million on June 2. APR for stablecoins on the platform reached 8% during the same period.
Sei’s real-world asset sector also showed movement throughout May. Sei RWAs recorded $151.8 million minted and $8.3 million burned, with Ondo’s U.S. Dollar Yield asset driving most of that activity.
More assets were created than removed, reflecting continued institutional interest in tokenized yield products on the chain.
Stablecoin volume remains one of the cleaner proxies for real economic activity on any blockchain. Unlike speculative tokens, stablecoins hold a fixed value, so their movement typically reflects actual transactions.
The May figures, while below Sei’s $73 billion peak in July 2025, show a clear recovery trend.
New Projects and Developer Activity Push Network Engagement Forward Developer and community activity on Sei gained traction heading into June. Daily gas usage for Saphyre hit a new year-to-date high of 2,085 on June 2 following the release of beta codes for its mobile app. The spike reflects growing user interest in the platform’s early-access rollout.
On the research side, Monaco and Fhenix announced a collaborative arm focused on homomorphic encryption for confidential trading.
The initiative explores privacy-preserving methods for on-chain transactions. This type of infrastructure work targets institutional and compliance-sensitive use cases.
Token project Frog launched a weekly campaign rewarding holders for social posts and community engagement. Separately, Tokeny.fun released a token launchpad on Sei featuring a ticker marketplace and automatic burn mechanics. Both launches reflect an active builder environment on the network.
Despite a 25.1% drop in SEI token price over the past seven days, on-chain fundamentals paint a different picture. TVL stands at $57.7 million, and daily EVM transactions remain close to 500,000.
The stablecoin data from May positions Sei as a network working to rebuild economic momentum.
