The Sei Development Foundation has appointed Jamie Finn, co-founder of Securitize and a recognized figure in fintech, as a strategic advisor to support the blockchain’s expansion into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Announced on May 20, 2025, the appointment highlights Sei’s ongoing efforts to onboard institutional-grade use cases and grow its presence in the asset tokenization market.
“Jamie brings unmatched experience at the intersection of digital assets and institutional finance,” said Justin Barlow, Executive Director of the Sei Foundation. “His insights will play a vital role as we work to scale Sei’s RWA capabilities and attract meaningful adoption.”
RWA Strategy, Partnerships, and Infrastructure on the Agenda
In his advisory role, Finn will focus on expanding Sei’s real-world asset initiatives, helping the team forge strategic partnerships and guide technical direction on infrastructure development.
He will also provide expertise on scaling regulatory-compliant frameworks and connecting on-chain assets with institutional capital flows.
“Sei is one of the few platforms truly built for scale and institutional compatibility,” Finn said. “With its performance and developer focus, Sei is well-positioned to lead the next wave of tokenization infrastructure.”
Sei Giga and Roadmap Momentum
Finn’s appointment comes shortly after Sei Labs published the whitepaper for Sei Giga, the blockchain’s ambitious upgrade aiming to become the first multi-proposer EVM Layer 1.
The Giga update promises a 50x performance improvement and will bolster Sei’s growing ecosystem, which already handles billions in on-chain transaction volume.
Since its mainnet launch in 2023, Sei has prioritized low-latency execution and scalability—features now being directed toward powering next-gen financial applications.
At the time of writing, Sei’s native token SEI was down 0.3% on the day and over 16% for the week, reflecting broader market consolidation.
