According to @saylor on X, $STRD currently offers an effective yield of 12.6% (source: @saylor on X, Aug 26, 2025). The update was shared with an accompanying chart illustrating the stated yield level (source: @saylor on X, Aug 26, 2025).

According to @lookonchain, the SEI token's recent 50% price increase is a "multifactor rally" driven by strong fundamentals and organic on-chain activity. Analysts at B2BINPAY highlight three main catalysts: Wyoming's selection of Sei as a settlement layer for its stablecoin pilot program, an upcoming v2 airdrop snapshot, and a 9% staking APY increase from core validators. Trading data indicates the rally is spot-led, with over $3 million in inflows to centralized exchanges, while perpetual swap open interest grew only 9% with steady funding rates. This suggests genuine buying interest over leveraged speculation. Additionally, DeFiLlama data shows Sei's Total Value Locked (TVL) has climbed above $540 million, and its DEX volumes surpassed $60 million for the first time. Traders should monitor for rising funding rates (above +0.05%), which could signal excessive leverage, but B2BINPAY notes the current momentum could extend into July.
