Sei Foundation to Acquire 23andMe
2025-03-27 21:57:32

Odaily News According to the official X account of the Sei Foundation, Sei is considering acquiring 23andMe, a genetic testing company that has filed for bankruptcy protection, and plans to put the genetic data of more than 15 million users on the chain and give users ownership and control over their own genetic data. Sei said that genetic data security has become a national security issue, and 23andMe is currently facing serious financial difficulties and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week. Several state attorneys general have reminded users to consider deleting their personal data on the platform. If this acquisition goes forward, Sei will protect privacy through blockchain encryption mechanisms, allowing users to decide whether and how to authorize the use and monetization of their own data. Sei said this will be its "most radical decentralized science (DeSci) project."
