NFT-marketplace OpenSea will release its own token SEA in the first quarter of 2025. This was announced by the project’s co-founder Devin Finzer.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Finzer said that in October 2025, trading volume on the platform exceeded $2.6 billion, with 90% of that coming from token transactions. This is part of OpenSea’s transformation into a platform “for trading everything,” he emphasized.
SEA is an important part of this concept, he noted. Therefore, work on the token has been delayed because it “doesn’t deserve to be released and forgotten.”
According to Finzer, the asset will hit the market in Q1, 2026. Up to 50% of the token’s supply will be distributed to community members, including participants in the rewards program.
In addition, the platform will allocate up to 50% of revenues to buyout SEA during the launch phase. What the volume of the asset issue will be is unknown at the time of writing.
Recall, the OpenSea team announced the launch of SEA in February 2025.
