OpenSea Launches SEA Token in Q1 2026, Expanding into Full Crypto Trading Platform

OpenSea is planning a major shift as it launches the SEA token in early 2026, aiming to become more than just an NFT marketplace. The platform’s strategic move will see 50% of the token supply allocated to its community, prioritizing earlier users and those participating in the rewards program. This move signals a significant expansion of OpenSea’s platform and integration of SEA into its ecosystem. The SEA launch aims to deepen engagement by allowing for staking to gain priority tokens and collectibles, creating a more comprehensive crypto trading experience.
