Sei Network Integrates USDC, Boosts Cross-Chain Liquidity by 156%

Sei Network has announced a significant upgrade by integrating native USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) V2. This integration will enable fast, direct, and frictionless asset transfers across 13 blockchains, transforming Sei into a cross-chain liquidity hub. The upgrade will provide access to the world's largest regulated stablecoin, USDC, and support full ERC-20 standard, allowing for seamless and secure money transfers across multiple blockchains. This move is part of Sei's strategy to create high-performance channels for global assets, positioning itself as a key player in the cross-chain liquidity space. The integration of CCTP V2 further solidifies Sei's commitment to providing a robust and efficient infrastructure for decentralized finance and other blockchain-based applications.

Technical analysts have noted that $SEI, the native token of the Sei Network, is currently holding near a confluence of support at $0.26. This level aligns with both the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and the 200-day Moving Average (MA). This area has recently acted as a bounce zone after $SEI retraced from its rally, which was triggered by stablecoin developments and the $CRCL IPO. Top analyst DaanCrypto noted that if $SEI holds this range, it may serve as a higher low, with the next resistance at $0.285. Volume metrics show heightened interest in the current range, with order book data revealing dense activity, suggesting that traders are preparing for a potential price move.

Should $SEI reclaim the $0.285 level, technical models show that the next target could be above $0.32. This would confirm a bullish continuation pattern backed by increased liquidity and ecosystem traction. The integration of native USDC and CCTP V2 is expected to improve liquidity flow across Sei and 13 other chains, enhancing the overall efficiency and stability of the network. Circle and the Sei Foundation plan to gradually migrate liquidity to the native stablecoin to further enhance stability and efficiency.

CCTP V2 also expands cross-chain capabilities, enabling seamless USDC transfers between Sei and 13 other blockchains across 156 routes. This supports key activities like onboarding, purchases, treasury management, and in-app payments. Developers benefit from capital efficiency while maintaining a unified user experience. According to Sei Foundation data, the network’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has risen from $208 million to over $600 million in 2025. Sei now supports more than 200 applications and remains fully EVM-compatible. The network also plans to introduce the “Giga” upgrade, which aims to improve throughput and performance further.
