A friend of mine, Lao Zhou, who works at a brokerage firm, told me: 'I actually saw SEI on Interactive Brokers.' I looked at the screenshot, and it turns out it’s the CoinShares physical staking @SeiNetwork product, CSEI. Here’s the gist: - It’s really backed by SEI, not some synthetic product on paper. - They stake your SEI for you, with an annual yield of around 2%. - No management fees. - Listed on the Swiss SIX Exchange, so it’s a compliant product. Lao Zhou is the kind of person who would never bother with crypto exchanges or wallets before. Now, he just needs to click a few times on Interactive Brokers, which he uses daily, like buying regular stocks or ETFs, and he’s essentially 'bought SEI.' In the past, SEI was only something we crypto folks played with. Now, CoinShares has turned it into a physical staking product and, through major brokers like Interactive Brokers, put it in front of professional investors in over 200 countries. For traditional institutions, this is a compliant, ready-to-go, easy-to-trade SEI channel. For @SeiNetwork, this is a big step into the mainstream institutional world. When people talk about 'institutions entering the market,' it’s not always a big green candle. Sometimes, it’s quiet but weighty news like CSEI being available on Interactive Brokers.
