How Sei is Connecting Traditional Finance With Blockchain?

Wall Street-style financial products keep landing onSeibecause the network offers fast, low-cost settlement while staying fully compatible with theEthereumtools that institutions already trust.

Firms like Apollo, Securitize, andOndo Financehave all launched tokenized products on Sei over the past year, treating it as infrastructure for moving real financial assets onchain rather than a place for speculative trading alone.

What Makes Sei Attractive To Institutional Finance?

Sei is a parallelized Layer-1 blockchain built to run standardEthereum Virtual Machine (EVM)code. This matters because most institutional blockchain teams already build with Solidity, Hardhat, and MetaMask. Sei lets them deploy without rewriting contracts.

Speed And Settlement Design

The network currently processes transactions with roughly 400-millisecond finality, meaning a transaction is confirmed and locked in well under a second. Sei achieves this through parallel execution, where non-conflicting transactions run at the same time instead of one after another, combined with a storage layer called SeiDB built for fast reads and writes. For funds that need daily net asset value (NAV) pricing or same-day settlement, that speed removes a real operational bottleneck.

Which Wall Street-Style Products Are Already Live On Sei?

Several regulated financial products have launched on the network rather than staying in pilot mode.

• Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (ACRED), tokenized by Securitize, went live on Sei and now holds more than $114 million in on-chain value, giving accredited investors exposure to private credit through daily NAV pricing and automated compliance reporting.
• Ondo Finance’s USDY, a tokenized Treasury note backed by short-term U.S. Treasurys and bank deposits, launched on Sei as the network’s first tokenized Treasury bill product. The yield tracks the short end of the Treasury curve and has recently run near 4.65% APY, moving up or down as interest rates change.
• Monaco, a trading protocol incubated by Sei Labs, built an institutional-grade central limit order book (CLOB), the same matching system used by traditional exchanges, aimed at microsecond-level trade execution.

Why Are Private Credit And Treasury Funds Choosing Sei Over Other Chains?

Private credit and Treasury products need infrastructure that can handle compliance checks, custody standards, and cross-chain liquidity without slowing down settlement. Sei’s Development Foundation has pointed to the private credit market’s projected growth to $2.8 trillion by 2028 as part of the reasoning behind building institutional rails now rather than later. Cross-chain access matters too: ACRED uses a Wormhole integration so liquidity isn’t locked to a single network.

How Is Sei Preparing For More Institutional Volume?

Sei’s roadmap points toward handling far more transaction volume than it does today.

The Giga Upgrade

The planned Sei Giga upgrade targets 200,000 transactions per second and 5 gigagas per second of throughput, using a multi-proposer consensus system called Autobahn that lets several validators propose blocks in the same round instead of one at a time.

Custody And Exchange Support

Ledger Enterprise added support for Sei, giving institutions regulated self-custody and audit-ready reporting. Coinbase has also integrated the Sei EVM directly, with native deposits and withdrawals going live in April 2026.

Separately, Canary Capital filed a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a staked Sei exchange-traded fund (ETF); as of mid-September 2026 that filing is still pending approval.

Sei has positioned itself as settlement infrastructure for tokenized finance by combining sub-second finality, full Ethereum compatibility, and regulated custody partnerships. Apollo’s credit fund, Ondo’s Treasury product, and Monaco’s trading engine are already running on the network, with further capacity upgrades planned through Sei Giga.
