Binance.US Lists Sei Network’s Native Token, Expanding U.S. Access to the Layer 1 Blockchain

Regulated cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, Binance.US has listed the Sei Network’s $SEI token, with trading on the SEI/USDT pair starting on November 13, 2025, at 6 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. 

This development provides U.S. users with direct access to the native token of a Layer 1 blockchain designed for high-speed transactions in decentralized finance, combining the network effects of Ethereum with the performance of Solana. The team is backed by top investors such as Multicoin, Jump, Coinbase Ventures, and Circle Ventures, and includes talent from companies such as Robinhood, Google, Coinbase, Databricks, Uber, and Goldman Sachs. 

The blockchain, which processes transactions at up to 200,000 per second with 400-millisecond finality and fees around $0.0004, has seen over 78 million active wallets and ranks first among Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible chains by active addresses. 

The listing follows Binance's recent role as a validator on the network and aligns with Sei's focus on integrating traditional finance assets through tokenization.

Details of the Binance.US Listing

The announcement from Binance.US on November 12, 2025, specified that deposits for SEI opened immediately on the Sei network. Trading commenced the following day at 3 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, limited to the SEI/USDT trading pair. 

Eligibility covers most U.S. states, subject to standard restrictions, such as exclusions in New York or Texas for certain assets. Nonetheless, the listing enables compliant trading for over 300 million potential U.S. users without relying on cross-chain bridges, which can introduce additional fees and risks.

Trading fees follow Binance.US's tiered structure, typically ranging from 0.1% to 0.5%. Staking for SEI, which allows users to earn rewards by locking tokens to support network security, is planned for a future rollout, with details to be announced separately. 

Significance for Sei Network

This development represents a significant step in Sei Network's expansion into the U.S. market, following Robinhood's addition of SEI and Binance's integration as a network validator on November 6, 2025. As a validator, Binance contributes to the network's consensus mechanism, leveraging its management of $180 billion in assets and access to 200 million global users to enhance security and decentralization.

For Sei, the move supports its institutional focus by providing "exchange-grade infrastructure" to bridge traditional finance and decentralized systems. It is expected to increase on-chain liquidity for protocols such as Folks Finance and Takara Lend, thereby facilitating better price discovery and trading efficiency. The network's emphasis on global financial rails aligns with integrations such as Monaco's adoption of Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol on Sei, enabling secure transfers across blockchains.

Overall, this development addresses scalability challenges in decentralized finance, where high transaction volumes require low fees and rapid settlement. Sei's metrics, including its top ranking in active addresses among EVM chains, suggest potential to narrow the market capitalization gap with competitors like BNB and SOL.

As of writing, SEI trades at $0.17, down almost 20% over the last 30 days. The token's market capitalization stands at approximately $1.1B, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Recent Developments and Future Outlook

Sei Network's recent activities include Binance's entry as a validator on November 6, 2025, Robinhood's SEI listing, a $10 million Creator Fund for non-fungible tokens, and a Research Initiative for Ethereum Virtual Machine optimizations. 

Upcoming events to look forward to include Ethereum's "Fusaka" upgrade in December 2025, potentially benefiting compatible chains like Sei, and the Cardano Summit on November 12-13 for enterprise blockchain insights. SEI staking on Binance.US remains pending, alongside further real-world asset integrations.

Conclusion

SEI listing on Binance.US reflects the network’s progress in U.S. market integration, building on its technical capabilities for high-throughput transactions and institutional asset handling. By providing regulated access to a blockchain with billions of processed transactions and strong active user metrics, this step enhances liquidity and developer tools without relying on intermediaries. 

Additionally, it highlights the network's role in addressing scalability in DeFi, supported by partnerships and upgrades that maintain low costs and speed. For investors and users, monitoring adoption trends and regulatory environments will be key, as Sei's metrics position it competitively among Layer 1 platforms.
