Commenting on the latest development, Crypto.com’s COO and President, Aric Anziani, said:
Institutional custody is a critical foundation for scaling blockchain ecosystems. We’re pleased to support the Sei Network’s mission to power high-frequency, low-latency applications with secure infrastructure that meets the highest standards of compliance and operational integrity.
Such narratives reflect Crypto.com’s vision of becoming the backbone for compliant crypto infrastructure for platforms focused on finance and trading.
Why does it matter for Sei?
Sei has thrived since its 2023 mainnet launch to become a notable player in the L1 sector. It prioritizes on-chain finance and top-speed trading.
The SEI Network supports nearly 50 million wallets, handling billions of transactions.
Recently, the blockchain integrated PayPal’s stablecoin to promote crypto adoption in global finance.
That reflects increasing institutional interest in the Sei Network. The platform needs high-end security for smooth operations, especially amid thriving staking.
Messari highlighted that SEI stakers celebrated positive yield for the first time as the blockchain flourishes.
Crypto.com Custody guarantees security through its innovative tools.
The exchange offers compliant, institutional-grade cold storage for large-scale investors to manage SEI assets for treasury operations, ecosystem expansion, and validator incentives with minimized risks.
The L1’s team has welcomed Crypto.com’s action as a milestone for greater adoption.
The Sei Development Foundation director Justin Barlow said:
We’re thrilled to see another leading provider of institutional-grade custody solutions choose to support the Sei Network. Through Crypto.com Custody, institutional investors will have yet another tool to interact with Sei in a secure and regulated way.
Barlow’s comments echo prevailing trends of blockchain networks integrating with security and compliance frameworks to offer institutional-grade services.
Sei V3 Giga upgrade
Crypto.com’s integration comes as the network prepares for the V3 Giga upgrade, designed to deliver innovative scaling solutions for Ethereum-compatible apps.
The update positions Sei to democratize Web3, aiming for 200,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-400ms finality.
Sei is about to flip the switch on its Giga Upgrade.@SeiNetwork is aiming for 200,000 TPS with sub-400ms finality.
That’s 50x today’s ceiling and would make $SEI the fastest EVM chain in existence.

With secure custody, Sei can attract magnified liquidity from institutions and expand its validator set.
SEI price outlook
Sei Network’s native token mirrored prevailing broader declines.
It has lost nearly 4% in the past 24 hours to $0.3254.
Cryptocurrencies endured a bloodbath on Friday after losing steam following recent FOMC-driven gains.
However, analysts predict solid rebounds in the coming sessions and in “Uptober.”
Institutional use cases would support explosive growth for SEI upon broad market bull runs.
