Let's 'time travel' together to see what might happen if we invest $1,000 in Sei and $1,000 in Arbitrum (ARB) and then 'disappear' for a year, until May 2026.
🚀 $SEI – The rising star in the Layer 1 world
Current price (May 2025): Approximately $0.22
Number of SEI you can buy: ~$4,545
Sei is a Layer 1/2 blockchain built specifically for trading, focusing on speed and efficiency. With its unique architecture and ecosystem development, Sei is attracting the attention of many investors and developers.
🔮 Price prediction for SEI in 2026:
* CoinCodex: $0.82 - $1.93
* DigitalCoinPrice: $1.67 - $2.02
* Telegaon: $3.58 - $6.79
👉 If SEI reaches an average of $3.50 by May 2026:
With $4,545 sei valued at x15 your account >>$15,000
👉 If SEI reaches above $5.00:
With $4,545 sei valued at x23 your account >>$22,700
Sei, as a new Layer 1/2 blockchain focused on transaction performance, has significant growth potential if its ecosystem continues to develop and attract users. A growth of 6-9 times in one year is entirely possible if Sei maintains its current growth momentum.
🔗 $ARB – Ethereum's powerful Layer 2 solution
Current price (May 2025): Approximately $0.34
Number of ARB you can buy: ~$2,941
Arbitrum is one of the leading Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum, helping to increase transaction speed and reduce gas fees. With the robust development of the Ethereum ecosystem, Layer 2 solutions like Arbitrum are becoming increasingly important.
🔮 Price prediction for ARB in 2026:
* CoinCodex: $1.68 - $3.97
* DigitalCoinPrice: $3.31 - $4.03
* Telegaon: $6.12 - $11.58
👉 If ARB reaches an average of $6.00 by May 2026:
With $2,941 arb valued at x17 your account >>$17,000
👉 If ARB reaches above $8.00:
With $2,941 arb valued at x23 your account >>$23,000
As a leading scaling solution for Ethereum, Arbitrum directly benefits from the development of the parent network. The increase in transaction volume and the adoption of decentralized applications (dApps) on Arbitrum could push the price of ARB even higher. A growth of 5-7 times in one year is a plausible scenario.
⚖️ Comparing potential: Growth rate vs. Solid foundation
In this case, both Sei and Arbitrum represent fields with significant growth potential in the crypto market:
* Sei: As a new Layer 1, it has the potential for faster growth if it attracts a large number of projects and users. However, the risks are also higher compared to projects that already have a solid foundation.
* Arbitrum: As a Layer 2 solution for Ethereum, it benefits from the stability and scale of Ethereum. The growth rate may not be as explosive as new projects, but it has a more solid foundation.
If you 'disappear' and come back after a year, both Sei and ARB have the potential to provide significant returns. Sei may yield higher returns if it becomes a popular Layer 1, while Arbitrum may offer more stable growth based on the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
💬 So which side do you choose?
If you had to choose one of the two for 2025, would you place your trust in the speed and innovation of a new Layer 1 like Sei, or the stability and scalability potential of a leading Layer 2 solution like Arbitrum? Or perhaps a combination of both would be a more balanced strategy? The market always has room for potential projects and solid platforms.
Have you considered or invested in one of the two?? Please comment and let me know, and let's wait together for a brilliant 2026.
