Sei Targets Millions Through Xiaomi’s Global Smartphone Network

• Sei and Xiaomi will ship a pre installed crypto wallet and dApp hub on new phones worldwide
• Planned stablecoin payments on Sei are set to support Xiaomi’s retail and device expansion
• SEI price trades near $0.145 with traders watching a move toward the $0.16 and $0.24 zones

Sei outlined a major expansion strategy that places its blockchain tools directly inside Xiaomi’s smartphone ecosystem. The rollout introduces a crypto wallet and application hub that will come pre-installed on new Xiaomi devices sold across global markets. 

The initiative aims to push blockchain usage into everyday consumer experiences, especially in regions where Xiaomi already holds strong market leadership. Sei also plans to link this mobile presence to a broader retail payment layer that supports stablecoin transactions for Xiaomi products.

New Mobile Entry Point for Global Crypto Access

According to the press release, the new app will rely on Google and Xiaomi IDs for simple, account based onboarding. It also includes multi-party computation security and direct access to a wide range of decentralized applications. 

Additionally, users will gain tools for person-to-person transfers and merchant transactions. This design positions the device as a direct gateway into digital assets rather than a secondary download.

Regions with strong crypto awareness will receive the rollout first. Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa lead this list. Xiaomi holds strong shares in these regions, and this reach gives Sei a large built in base. 

Countries such as India and Greece show deep Xiaomi penetration, and this gives Sei a large audience from day one. The partnership therefore offers millions of users their first structured entry into blockchain activity.

Stablecoin Payments Planned for Xiaomi Retail Growth

Sei and Xiaomi are building an expanded phase that will link the app to retail payments. Customers will gain an option to purchase phones, accessories, and even Xiaomi EVs using stablecoins on Sei. 

Furthermore, the first jurisdictions targeted include Hong Kong and the European Union. Additional regions will follow once regulatory conditions support stablecoin transactions at scale.

Xiaomi’s device volume strengthens this plan. The company sold 168 million smartphones in 2024 and holds about 13% global market share. Hence, the integration offers Sei one of the largest direct-distribution footprints within consumer electronics.

Market Reaction Builds as SEI Price Gains Momentum

SEI traded near $0.1452 after rising over 5% in 24 hours. Market data also showed stronger liquidity and sustained weekly gains. Analysts expect further upside if current momentum continues. 

Michaël van de Poppe noted that SEI now challenges the 20-Day MA, which often signals a trend shift. He pointed to Ethereum’s recent break above the same indicator as a relevant comparison. Moreover, a successful break could move SEI toward the $0.16 range and confirm a return to broader upside levels.

He also outlined higher targets. A continuation above initial resistance may push liquidity toward $0.24. Hence, SEI could approach $0.27 if demand strengthens and broader market sentiment improves.
