SEI Onboards 1 Million Users in First Week of 2026, Price Under Pressure
Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- User Growth Acceleration: In the first week of 2026, SEI onboarded nearly 1 million new users, pushing total users above 88 million, demonstrating rapid adoption despite a challenging market environment, which enhances the platform's long-term growth potential.
- Price Pressure Continues: Despite significant user growth, SEI's price remains around $0.1255, reflecting market sensitivity to price movements that could impact investor confidence and future capital inflows.
- Market Dynamics Shifting: SEI is attempting to attract broader institutional participation through recent exchange listings and leadership changes, which, while not immediately boosting prices, lay the groundwork for future growth.
- Unlock Risk Emerges: A token unlock scheduled for mid-January may increase market supply, and if not effectively absorbed, could lead to a price drop back to the $0.10 area, necessitating close monitoring of market demand changes.
