OpenSea Chief Marketing Officer Adam Hollander has denied a widespread rumor that the NFT marketplace was planning a $150 million SEA token sale on Coinbase, describing the circulating post as “fake.”
Speculation arose after a parody X account stated that Coinbase had deleted a social post teasing a $150 million SEA token sale, leading to assumptions that OpenSea would launch a token offering on the exchange next week. The claims quickly circulated across X and Telegram.
OpenSea plans to launch its native SEA token in the first quarter of 2026. According to OpenSea CEO Devin Finzer, half of the total SEA token supply will be allocated to the community, with a major portion distributed through initial claims to historical users and participants in rewards programs.
The SEA token will be integrated into the core OpenSea marketplace experience. OpenSea intends to use 50% of the platform revenue at launch to buy back SEA tokens, creating a buyback program to support the token’s value.
