Updated: Jan 09 2026- Asset Conversion Warning: Sei Network has alerted USDC.n holders that they must swap to native USDC by March 2026 to avoid asset obsolescence post-SIP-3 upgrade, affecting approximately $1.4 million in liquidity and potentially leaving users with inaccessible assets.
- On-Chain Upgrade Impact: As Sei transitions to an EVM-only chain, the discontinuation of support for Cosmos-native assets will not only impact DeFi positions and liquidity but also have significant implications for stablecoin market integration, prompting users to act swiftly to avoid liquidity traps.
- Market Trend Reflection: Sei Network's strategic direction aligns with industry trends emphasizing the shift from bridged assets to native stablecoins, which is expected to enhance liquidity and market activity, further solidifying its position within the DeFi ecosystem.
- Migration Tool Reliability: Users must exercise caution regarding the reliability of migration tools during this transition to ensure asset security and accessibility, as Sei's upgrade may influence stablecoin market trends, highlighting robust interoperability and reduced complexity.
