A Big January For Solana: Mobile Unit Prepares To Drop Native Token

Solana Mobile will roll out a native token called SKR at the start of next year, a move that ties a new crypto asset directly to the company’s Seeker smartphone and its growing app network.

According to the company’s own blog and subsequent reports, SKR is being positioned as a governance and incentive token for people who use, build for, or operate parts of the platform.

Solana Mobile Confirms SKR Launch

Solana Mobile confirmed that SKR will launch in January 2026 and that the total supply will be 10 billion SKR. The announcement appeared on the company’s official channels and was widely picked up by crypto news outlets.

Token Distribution And Staking

Reports have disclosed a detailed split of that 10 billion. Some 30% is reserved for airdrops. 25% goes to growth and partnerships. 10% is set aside for liquidity and launch, another 10% for a community treasury, and 15% for Solana Mobile itself, etc.

This arrangement puts a large chunk of supply into the hands of users and partners from day one, with a sizeable allocation kept for the company and its parent.

How SKR Will Be Used

According to the Solana Mobile post, SKR will be used to reward builders and reinforce device security, and it will help coordinate how the dApp Store and related services work on Seeker devices.

The company also described a “Guardian” model meant to involve trusted actors in tasks like app review and device verification.

Who Might Benefit First

Seeker owners and early dApp developers are the most likely to see immediate benefits. Airdrops are intended for users and builders, so people who actively use Seeker apps or who run services for that ecosystem could receive SKR at launch.

Based on reports, the token’s real value will hang on how many people buy Seeker phones, how many apps appear, and how active the community becomes.

A big airdrop number does not guarantee broad usage, and governance systems often face challenges if participation is low or power concentrates with a few parties.

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
