Staying up late waiting for the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, I suddenly came across this #SEI news, and it feels explosive! Speaking of which, I've been in the crypto industry for quite a while, investing in numerous L1 and application layer projects, and this is the first time I've seen a U.S. public chain collaborate with China's Xiaomi in the crypto space. I feel this will be a milestone event that changes the landscape of the crypto industry.
First, it's important to know that this is not an ordinary "collaboration," but rather a "pre-installation," which is the key difference. Many people have become numb to the term "crypto collaboration." But this time is completely different: the financial applications developed by #Sei will be directly pre-installed on every new Xiaomi phone.
In the future, when we buy a new Xiaomi phone and unbox it for the first time, the Sei application will already be there, just like WeChat and Alipay, without needing to download, register, or watch tutorials. For ordinary users, it will be a built-in feature of the phone, providing a completely seamless experience (I guess this will only support Xiaomi users abroad 😂).
This directly addresses the biggest pain point in the crypto industry right now: the high user acquisition cost and educational barriers. Now, #Sei has completely bypassed all intermediate steps, putting the entry point into the pockets of 169 million people every year (I just checked, Xiaomi's annual shipment volume is as high as 169 million units)!
Moreover, Xiaomi is not just a phone company; it has an ecosystem of 680 million users behind it, supported by a complete IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem: TVs, fitness bands, routers, smart home devices… With 680 million active users and a 13% share of the global smartphone market, it ranks among the top three in the world.
If just 10% of this scale empowers the #Sei ecosystem, it would be incredible. Just think about embedding financial payment functions into a daily high-frequency consumer electronics ecosystem. Users check their heart rate with a Xiaomi band in the morning, use a Xiaomi phone to scan and order takeout at noon, and watch shows on a Xiaomi TV at night, while all these devices could quietly connect to #Sei's stablecoin payment network. The potential and imagination here are simply explosive!
For example, imagine this: you buy headphones at a Xiaomi store in Mexico, and the staff asks, "Can I pay with MiPay?" You choose "USDC" or "USDT" (even though you might not even know they are "cryptocurrencies"), and with a tap, the payment is completed, settled on-chain, and arrives in seconds, with almost zero fees. That kind of experience would definitely be fantastic.
Xiaomi has over 20,000 offline stores worldwide, and if all these stores adopt this system, it means stablecoins will finally have a real, high-frequency, large-scale consumption scenario closed loop, and this time it is born on #Sei!
I've been bullish on #Sei lately, accumulating a considerable amount of #Sei tokens, buying the dip all the way down, feeling both pain and joy, because I know they are accelerating their layout and continuously building in the bear market. I have confidence and hope, and I look forward to seeing them set sail in the future. As the saying goes, a fisherman goes out to sea to fish, not knowing where the fish are. But he persists in going out to sea because he believes, and therefore he sees! Let's wait and see 🧐
