Solana Competitor SEI Network Surges Over 110%
A blockchain project, The Sei Network (SEI), which positions itself as a competitor to Solana (SOL), has experienced a remarkable surge in value following an investment from stablecoin issuer Circle (USDC).
After the announcement from Circle, SEI reached a peak of $0.250, marking a substantial increase of over 110% from its value of $0.118 recorded on November 10th.
