ETF Listing Sparks Hope

Big news, folks! ๐Ÿคฉ The Canary Staked SEI exchange-traded fund (ETF) has officially landed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) platform! ๐Ÿ“ˆ

Now, don’t get too excited just yet – this doesn’t mean the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given it a thumbs up ๐Ÿ‘. But, it’s a significant milestone, and market watchers are taking it as a positive sign ๐ŸŒŸ.

Canary’s Staked SEI ETF Joins DTCC List

According to DTCC records, the product is currently chilling in the “active and pre-launch” category ๐Ÿ˜Ž. This means it’s all set for future electronic trading and clearing, pending – you guessed it – SEC approval ๐Ÿค”.

Now, here’s the thing: the ETF can’t be created or redeemed just yet, so it’s still non-operational ๐Ÿšซ. But, this listing is a standard step in the ETF deployment process, and market participants are taking it as a sign that the issuer is feeling confident ๐Ÿ’ช.

โ€œDTCC handles the behind-the-scenes clearing and settling for most US stocks and ETFs. Meaning this puts the SEI ETF into the usual pipeline before it shows up on brokerage platforms. Once the market sentiment turns around, SEI is going to be a big runner,โ€ an analyst noted ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Canary Capital filed an S-1 earlier this year to introduce a staked SEI ETF ๐Ÿ“. At the time, the SEC was being super cautious about staking mechanisms in exchange-traded products ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. But, things have changed now!

BeInCrypto reported that the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service dropped Revenue Procedure 2025-31 ๐Ÿ“š, establishing a clear safe-harbor framework for crypto ETFs and trusts that want to engage in staking and distribute rewards to investors ๐Ÿค‘.

This procedure lays down some strict conditions ๐Ÿ“, including holding only one type of digital asset plus cash, using qualified custodians for key management, maintaining SEC-approved liquidity policies, and limiting activities to holding, staking, and redeeming assets without discretionary trading ๐Ÿค.

Moreover, these guidelines resolve prior tax ambiguities ๐Ÿค”. This could potentially pave the way for SEC approval of staking-inclusive products, such as Canary’s SEI ETF ๐ŸŽ‰.

And, it’s not just Canary – Rex-Osprey has also filed for a staked SEI ETF ๐Ÿค, and 21Shares is seeking SEC approval for an ETF focused on the SEI ๐Ÿ”. This reflects broader institutional interest in gaining exposure to the Sei Network ๐Ÿ“ˆ.

SEI Climbs in Net Flows Even as TVL Suffers

Meanwhile, Sei is experiencing some strong capital movement ๐Ÿ’ธ. According to Artemis Analytics, the network currently ranks second in net flows over the past 24 hours, with inflows making up the majority ๐Ÿ“Š. This trend suggests that investors are rotating into SEI despite broader market volatility ๐ŸŒช๏ธ.

Analysts are also getting optimistic about SEI’s price potential ๐Ÿš€. ZAYK Charts noted that the altcoin is completing another falling-wedge cycle, arguing that a breakout could trigger a 100-150% rally ๐Ÿ“ˆ.

$SEI is holding on to this major support level.

Expecting a strong bounce here!

However, on-chain data paints a more complex picture ๐Ÿค”. Figures from DefiLlama reveal a steep contraction in the network’s total value locked (TVL) during November, representing the largest decline in nearly two years ๐Ÿ“‰.

Approximately 1 billion SEI tokens have been unstaked, reflecting an accelerated rate of user exits from the ecosystem ๐Ÿ‘‹.

So, for now, this listing is a procedural but meaningful signal that the pathway toward institutional SEI exposure is beginning to take shape ๐ŸŒ – against a backdrop of both recovering inflows and lingering challenges within the network ๐ŸŒช๏ธ.
