things to remember :
you have to create a new account + just $10 deposit = eligible for the reward

trade volume :
$50k → $10 USDC
$250k → $25 USDC
$500k → $50 USDC

use the code to get 60% fees discount"

> **Visual Note:** The image is a SEI/USDT weekly Binance chart showing price consolidation at a "CRITICAL SUPPORT" zone (~$0.04), with green arrows projecting a rally toward three ascending targets: Target 1 (~$0.38), Target 2 (~$0.73), and Target 3 (~$1.14), aligning with the post's roadmap and its projected ~5,900% upside.  

> 
> "$SEI
 is sitting at the level where nobody wants it.

Which is usually more interesting than the level where everyone does.

The roadmap is simple:

$0.38 → first wake-up

$0.73 → momentum

$1.14 → euphoria

From current levels, the full move on my chart is roughly +5,900%."
