Sei Network and Chainlink CCIP Unlock Fast Cross-Chain Transfers - Crypto News Flash

• Sei Network integrates Chainlink CCIP to enable fast, secure cross-chain asset transfers through institutional-grade oracle infrastructure.
• Chainlink’s CCIP secures over $18T in on-chain value, now powering cross-chain flows on the ultra-fast Sei Network.

The integration between Sei Network and Chainlink CCIP looks set to revolutionize the way digital assets move between blockchains. These two big names are now officially collaborating to deliver fast, secure, and hassle-free cross-chain asset flows.

Chainlink CCIP, long recognized as the industry standard for blockchain interoperability, is finally live on the Sei network—which also happens to be the fastest L1 blockchain in the world.

Sei Integrates Chainlink CCIP for Safer Cross-Chain Transfers

To date, Chainlink has secured over $18 trillion in on-chain transactions through its oracle network. So, when their system is deployed on Sei, a unique combination emerges: ultra-secure oracles with lightning-fast transaction execution.

This isn’t just a technical upgrade—it unlocks new potential for DeFi, gaming, and other cross-chain applications that have historically struggled with speed and data security.

Furthermore, it’s not just about oracles or data transfers. The CCIP protocol allows for the direct transfer of tokens between chains without the need for complex, leak-prone bridges. Chainlink even has its own risk management system to ensure everything runs smoothly.

So, for developers or companies who have been reluctant to engage with cross-chain technology due to security concerns, there’s no reason to delay.

Native USDC and AI Agents Are Coming to the Fastest L1

Meanwhile, the CNF recently reported that Sei is also preparing to bring a native version of USDC directly from Circle. This plan will be supported by CCTP V2, a cross-chain stablecoin transfer protocol that enables near-instant USDC transactions across over 150 active blockchain channels.

In fact, USDC on Sei currently relies on the bridge version, which accounts for a dominant proportion—around 82% of the total supply, worth $231 million. But that will all change with the arrival of native USDC, which is more trusted and efficient.

In addition to it, in early July, the network also integrated Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol, which allows AI agents like Claude, Windsurf, and Cursor to read blockchain data and directly execute on-chain transactions. This could be a shortcut to creating automated and data-driven applications that were previously impossible on other blockchains.

Judging by price movements, the SEI token appears to be gaining steam. At the time of writing, its price was around $0.3471, up more than 8% in the last 24 hours and nearly 93% in the last 30 days.

Interestingly, this surge occurred close to the token unlock event on July 15–18, when 55.56 million SEI were released to the market. However, because this represents only 1% of the circulating supply, the impact on the price appears to have been manageable.

On-chain, Sei’s TVL has also doubled since April, now reaching over $570 million. Transaction activity has also become increasingly heavy, with an average of 1.3 million daily transactions. These numbers suggest one thing: Sei isn’t just fast on paper, it’s also increasingly widely used.
