It seems Lei Jun was a bit intimidated by the enthusiasm of the crypto. Sei officially issued a clarification post stating that Xiaomi only installs one Sei-Based app. 😂😂😂
After all, several ministries in China just issued documents, and Xiaomi still needs to operate in the domestic market. They're sneaking in quietly, so they don't want to be targeted. Doing things well is more important than making a lot of noise.
In China, many things can be done quietly but not openly. For example, do CEXs really ban KYC registration from China? Chatgpt and Gemini don't allow access from mainland IP addresses, but have they really blocked VPNs?
Let's wait until Xiaomi's new phone comes out in 2026 and see what really happens. Personally, I still think that it's an unstoppable trend for phone manufacturers to integrate crypto wallets in the future, because stablecoins are just too convenient.
Let's have Sei and Xiaomi be the first to try it out. If this agreement isn't exclusive, I think other chains can also be discussed. What if they hit the right balance in policy? The number of new users it brings is quite considerable.
