OpenSea CEO confirms token launch: SEA coming in early 2026

The NFT marketplace OpenSea has announced the long-awaited launch of its native token, SEA, for the first quarter of 2026. As OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer announced on X, half of the total token supply will be allocated to the community. This could particularly benefit long-time users and participants in the current rewards program.
“Both OGs and individuals who have participated in OpenSea reward programs will be considered separately and appropriately,” Finzer said. In addition, 50 percent of the platform's revenue at launch will be used for token buybacks.
The SEA token will play a central role in the future ecosystem, “including the ability to stake SEA for preferred tokens and collections,” Finzer said. The OpenSea CEO did not provide details on the total supply or exact distribution mechanisms.
The token launch is part of the company's strategic realignment. According to Finzer, OpenSea aims to evolve from a pure NFT marketplace into a universal trading platform. “This is just the beginning of our transformation—from NFT marketplace to trade everything.”
