Ah, the human condition—an endless play of regret. Some among us lament missed chances to acquire Bitcoin when it dipped, oh so briefly, below the sacred mark of $100,000.

According to the chroniclers of crypto.news, SEI surged over 26% on the 11th of July, reaching a six-month high of $0.33, before settling at the more modest, yet still impressive, $0.32.

Its market capitalization, now standing at $1.78 billion, has elevated it to the 70th largest digital asset, a position that, while not the pinnacle, is certainly a step in the right direction. The daily trading volume, too, has seen a dramatic increase, jumping by over 200%, a clear sign that the market has taken notice and is eager to participate in this burgeoning narrative.

As our wise friend Avocado Onchain so eloquently put forth in his analysis on June 11, there are several indicators to suggest that this current surge is not the overindulgent, fevered rush one might expect. The MVRV ratio, for instance, compares Bitcoin’s market value to its realized value, and stands at a modest 2.2. Quite a departure from the chaotic highs of 2.7 that we observed during the March and December 2024 highs—those were truly times to be wary, I assure you. How delightfully sensible of it to remain so calm!
