WLFI Expands Sei Holdings Despite Crypto Losses
According to Arkham data, WLFI acquired SEI tokens at an average price of $0.185, utilizing 100,000 USDC. This purchase adds to WLFI’s existing holdings, bringing its total SEI assets to 1.089 million tokens, valued at $207,000 due to market fluctuations.
Despite this expansion, WLFI’s overall crypto portfolio remains at a significant $124 million loss. The protocol currently holds approximately $77.6 million in digital assets, including nearly 8,000 Ether (ETH), 14.8 million USDC, 162.69 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), 5,000 stETH, and 40.7 million Tron (TRX) tokens.
SEI Price Surge and Market Outlook
WLFI’s investment in SEI triggered a 7.5% price surge, with the cryptocurrency currently trading at $0.1978, according to CoinMarketCap. SEI is approaching a $1 billion market capitalization, despite broader market corrections.
From a technical perspective, SEI faces resistance at the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of $0.2204. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers around 38.78, indicating that SEI is nearing oversold conditions, which could drive a price rebound.
SEI is also trading near the lower Bollinger Band, signaling a potential upside reversal. If the asset breaks past the middle Bollinger Band at $0.2311, it could target the upper band at $0.2946.
Sei’s Growing Ecosystem and Adoption
Crypto analyst peblo.escobar believes Sei is undervalued, citing its robust fundamentals. According to DefiLlama, Sei’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached an all-time high of $335.45 million, reflecting strong adoption.
I still believe we’re not as bullish on $SEI the fastest parallelized evm chain as we should be.
