Sei Network Sees Explosive Q2 Growth as DeFi and AI Drive Momentum
15.09.2025 20:00 2 min. read Kosta Gushterov
Sei Network has posted one of its strongest quarters yet, with fresh data from Messari showing sharp increases across price, adoption, and DeFi activity.
The Layer-1 blockchain is gaining traction as it prepares for its highly anticipated Giga upgrade and deepens its integration with AI-driven initiatives.
Q2 by the Numbers
- SEI price jumped 63.5% quarter-over-quarter, underscoring growing investor demand.
- DeFi total value locked (TVL) surged 67.8%, hitting a record $609.4 million by June 30, 2025.
- Daily active addresses climbed 36.6%, highlighting rising user engagement across the ecosystem.
Much of this growth has been attributed to the network’s transition toward EVM-only compatibility, a move that significantly expands developer access and improves interoperability with Ethereum-native applications.
Driving Forces: DeFi and AI
The largest share of Sei’s TVL is concentrated in Yei Finance ($365.9M), followed by projects like Sailor ($83.8M), Takara Lend ($71.3M), and DragonSwap ($35.6M). Collectively, these DeFi platforms account for the majority of the chain’s activity and liquidity growth.
Alongside DeFi, Sei is also investing in artificial intelligence use cases, with initiatives designed to merge blockchain performance with AI-powered financial tools. This positioning aligns the project with one of the most dominant narratives of 2025: the convergence of AI and crypto.
Looking Ahead
As Sei gears up for the Giga upgrade, analysts are watching whether the project can sustain its rapid expansion. If momentum continues, Sei could strengthen its position as one of the leading new-generation blockchains bridging DeFi, AI, and EVM compatibility.
