$SEI — this is a first-level cryptocurrency based on blockchain and a competitor to Ethereum in the field of smart contract and decentralized finance (DeFi) development. One of the main factors for the growth of Sei's return on investment in recent years has been the integration of the stablecoin Circle USDC on its platform. After the announcement of the USDC integration last week, the price of SEI rose by 22% in 24 hours.
