SEI has emerged as a standout in recent trading activity, supported by rising DeFi participation and technical momentum. Despite market-wide flatness, SEI's breakout structure and record $593M TVL are drawing strong attention from traders.
SEI Outperforms Layer-1 Peers in Volatility and Structure
SEI showed the most dynamic movement among major Layer-1 assets, according to a post by Lennaert Snyder on June 27. While tokens like SUI ended up leading percentage-wise, SEI recorded sharper volatility during the session’s earlier hours. The asset’s action diverged clearly from Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and BNB, which remained range-bound or flat.

Starting around 2 PM, SEI moved in lockstep with other majors, but deviated sharply as midnight approached. Though it failed to sustain gains, its pattern showed high activity, with multiple intraday swings testing overhead resistance. Compared to TRON and BNB, which floated near breakeven, SEI reflected stronger liquidity churn and directional attempts.
Snyder noted SEI closed marginally down, but not before drawing capital interest earlier in the cycle. This behavioral shift pointed to speculative inflows and potential accumulation phases ahead of a structural breakout. Other assets failed to breach the +1% mark, while SEI remained among the most discussed despite the late-session fade.
DeFi Inflows Push SEI TVL to All-Time High
On-chain fundamentals added more weight to SEI’s recent visibility, as TVL hit a new record of $593.04 million. According to a report by Ryuzaki_SEI, TVL rose from near-zero in September 2023, accelerating through Q2 2025. The move included sharp inflows during May and June, likely tied to institutional or yield-driven capital allocations.
DeFiLlama’s data showed SEI sustaining higher lows and higher highs on the TVL chart across multiple volatile months. Protocols within the ecosystem absorbed liquidity consistently, even when broader markets leaned bearish. This long-term DeFi expansion reinforces rising engagement and trust in SEI's ecosystem-level sustainability.
Weekly Chart Confirms Breakout Beyond Key Resistance
SEI closed the week at $0.28838, surging +44.81% from last week’s open at $0.19892, confirming a breakout pattern. The move broke a descending wedge forming since May 2025, with volume peaking at 91.64M, the highest since January 2024. The breakout invalidated the previous downtrend from the $0.726 March high, resetting the trend with wide price discovery.
