[Sei Drives Asset Tokenization and Integration with DeFi Through RWA Partnerships]
Looks like Sei is focusing on RWA to stand out among the many L1s. I checked Sei's recent tweets, and they’re basically all about RWA partnerships. Their partners are traditional asset management giants like BlackRock, Apollo, Hamilton Lane, Brevan Howard, and others—these are firms managing assets worth hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.
The approach is to collaborate with these asset management giants, tokenize some of the funds they manage, and deploy them on-chain via Sei. This allows everyone to invest in, hold, and trade these funds directly on Sei.
The advantages of RWA, aside from transparency and simplicity, lie in its composability when combined with DeFi. For example, at the most basic level, RWA assets can be used for collateralized lending, enabling liquidity release while still earning returns from the funds. And that’s just the beginning—there are countless ways to combine and generate returns.
However, tokenizing and deploying RWA assets on-chain is just the first step. The real goal is to make these assets and funds "active" on-chain, combining them to create a flywheel effect. That’s the ultimate purpose of asset tokenization and what it aims to achieve. To make this happen, top-tier DeFi protocols are needed to provide liquidity platforms for these assets.
I noticed they recently onboarded the lending protocol Morpho to deploy on Sei, which seems to align with this strategy. Morpho currently holds $12 billion in user deposits and is ranked as the third-largest lending protocol across chains (just behind Aave and Sky).
Now that Sei has brought in the actors (RWA assets) and set up the stage (top-tier DeFi protocols), let’s see if this show can truly "shine" moving forward.
