The recent surge in Sei’s value coincides with the <a href="https://crypto.news/sei-surges-13-amid-launch-of-mainnet-beta-v2/">release of the “Sei v2 mainnet beta</a>.” The Sei team, led by founders Jeffrey Feng and Jayendra Jog, touts it as “the most performant EVM blockchain ever built.” 
This network, designed for fast and cost-effective crypto trading, has recently integrated Geth, a popular Ethereum software used by developers to create decentralized applications and other web3 solutions. 
Sei’s v1 beta mainnet, built with the Cosmos SDK, was launched in August 2023 after two successful funding rounds that raised $30 million from investors such as Jump Trading and Multicoin Capital.

ORDI is a meme coin on the Bitcoin network, and the first BRC-20 token was created using the Ordinals protocol. 
Developed by software engineer Casey Rodarmor, the Ordinals protocol allows data such as text, images, audio, and video to be written directly to each satoshi, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. This technology has enabled new applications of non-fungible tokens and tokens on Bitcoin. 
With a fixed supply of 21 million tokens, ORDI operates as a fungible and transferable asset within the BRC-20 ecosystem.

Arweave is known for its decentralized storage solution, operating on AI-enabled blockchains. 
Co-founder Sam Williams recently introduced the Arweave AO protocol, an advanced computing framework aimed at facilitating parallel executions for proof-of-stake computations. This protocol addresses the growing demands of social media and AI applications on the blockchain. 
Files stored on Arweave are accessible through traditional web browsers, eliminating the need for special wallets or blockchain services. The platform is also developing a voting mechanism for users to moderate illicit content.

The overall surge in these altcoins followed Bitcoin’s (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">BTC</a>) 3% rise over the past day, reaching $66,732 on Saturday. Bitcoin’s 24-hour lows and highs were $65,319 and $67,377, respectively. 
Market analysts attribute the recent price increase to several factors, including the end of the German government’s selling pressure. The <a href="https://crypto.news/is-germany-done-transferring-their-bitcoin/">German government recently sold </a>its 49,858 BTC holdings, earning approximately $2.8 billion. 
Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs have seen a <a href="https://crypto.news/spot-bitcoin-etfs-soar-total-net-inflow-17-billion/">new wave of inflows</a>, surpassing $1 billion this week. A <a href="https://www.gemini.com/blog/crypto-for-sale-price-impacts-of-germanys-btc-liquidation-mt-gox-and-etf" target="_blank" rel="">note </a>from Gemini suggested that BTC’s recent price drop might have attracted new investors who previously lacked exposure to the leading cryptocurrency. 
Meanwhile, the global cryptocurrency market cap also witnessed a 1.42% increase, elevating to a total of $2.43 trillion.
