SEI has been listed as a potential candidate for Wyoming's stablecoin issuance plan.

Investor confidence in SEI seems to be strengthening significantly, especially after the state of Wyoming )USA( officially included this blockchain in the shortlist of potential platforms for the issuance of the WYST stablecoin.

This list is not randomly selected – according to reports, the blockchains are evaluated based on strict criteria such as processing speed, network performance, and the ability to support actors in the ecosystem. The inclusion of SEI in the list is a clear testament to the technological potential and the increasing attractiveness of this network.

Not only that, a series of other positive factors are also driving the recent performance of SEI, while increasing the attractiveness of the native SEI token in the eyes of investors. For example, SEI is currently leading the entire gaming industry in terms of the number of active addresses over the past 30 days – a remarkable achievement that reflects the increasingly expanding practical application of this blockchain.

Nansen noted that in the past 4 weeks, the number of transactions on the SEI network has doubled, while the number of active addresses has surged threefold – a clear indication of a significant boom in the level of interaction on the network.

These numbers indicate that the recent bullish trend of SEI is not just a short-term market effect, but is also backed by substantial development in terms of ecosystem and adoption speed. This could be the premise for a more sustainable growth cycle. However, the key question now is: Can SEI maintain this impressive upward momentum throughout the rest of June?
