The Sei (SEI) price  is sitting at an interesting point in early January. The token is trading around $0.1221 after a rough month, but activity on the network is moving in the opposite direction. 

There has also been a dramatic increase in the number of daily active users, with Sei now being one of the top EVM chains. On the other hand, the network is also organizing itself and getting ready for the token unlock this month.

It is this combination of solid usage and time-sensitive pressures that make SEI an interesting company to track at this time.

One of the clearest themes around Sei (SEI) is how easy it has become to access the network. As AltCryptoGems pointed out, onboarding is no longer the challenge.

Users can enter Sei through major exchanges, popular wallets, and multiple on-ramp providers. Whether someone uses OKX, Coinbase, Robinhood, MetaMask, Backpack, or Transak, the path into SEI is already there.

That matters because access often limits adoption before demand ever shows up. In Sei case, distribution is already built. If users decide to stay and transact, the infrastructure is ready to handle it.

Onboarding new users to Sei isn’t the issue…

However, this access is starting to show up in the data. In December, Sei daily active addresses rose about 60% to roughly 1.37 million, briefly pushing it ahead of several larger ecosystems. Much of that growth came from gaming, but DeFi tools and oracle integrations also played a role.

This kind of activity suggests people are using the network for more than speculation. It does not guarantee higher prices, but it strengthens the case that demand could eventually catch up..

Moreover, there are also near-term issues to work through. Sei recently warned users holding USDC.n to migrate to native USDC ahead of its EVM-only upgrade. While this improves scalability long term, it can create short-term friction for users who need to move funds.

On top of that, about 55.56 million SEI tokens are set to unlock on January 15. That represents just over 1% of circulating supply. Unlocks often bring volatility, especially when price is already weak. How the market absorbs that supply will matter in the short term.

If the January unlock is absorbed and user activity stays strong, SEI could work its way back toward the $0.15 to $0.17 range, which lines up with prior resistance. That would signal that demand is starting to match access.

A stronger scenario, where high user counts translate into sustained volume and liquidity, opens the door toward $0.20 to $0.22 over the coming months.

On the downside, failure to absorb new supply could send the SEI price back toward the $0.10 area before buyers step in again.

Right now, Sei has done the hard part. Access is built. If that access turns into real demand, price will eventually have to respond.
