Solana Mobile SKR Jumps 38% On Airdrop Launch

Solana Mobile, a subsidiary of Solana Labs, the organization behind the Solana blockchain, has launched a token airdrop for holders of its Web3 smartphone, Solana Seeker.

The Seeker (SKR) token, the utility and governance asset of the Solana Mobile ecosystem, went live on Wednesday, the company said in a post on X.

Users of the Solana Seeker smartphone have 90 days to claim airdropped SKR tokens, which can be staked to earn rewards.

The airdrop is available to at least 100,000 users and 188 developers, with almost 2 billion SKR tokens distributed to the community through the launch, worth about $26.6 million at the time of publication.

What is Solana seeker and SKR token?

Launched in August 2025, Solana Seeker is an Android-based smartphone from Solana Mobile, the successor to the Solana Saga, the company’s first phone, which debuted in 2022.

The Seeker is designed specifically for crypto use, featuring a dedicated decentralized app (dApp) store and native integration with the Solana ecosystem. The device supports the SKR token, which is used for governance and rewards within the Solana Mobile platform.

Designed for the Seeker device, SKR is the native token of the Solana Mobile ecosystem, with a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens. It functions as a Solana program library token (SPL), which is the universal standard for creating and managing assets on the Solana blockchain.

The token is intended to reward participation from the Web3 community, support security initiatives, provide access to platform features and align incentives among users, developers, researchers and protocols.

SKR surges 38%, Solana Mobile expects “inflation events” every 48 hours

Since its launch at around 2:00 am UTC, the SKR token has risen by about 38%, trading at $0.013 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko data.

After claiming SKR, users are offered the opportunity to stake the tokens and earn rewards through Solana Mobile staking platform, the announcement said.

“Staked SKR starts earning immediately, with inflation events every 48 hours and 0% commission upon launch,” Solana Mobile said.

The airdrop represents a significant portion of SKR’s fixed supply, underscoring Solana Mobile’s focus on community-driven growth.

At the time of writing, the circulating supply of SKR tokens was 5.7 billion, with a market capitalization of around $81 million, according to CoinGecko.

BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models

The post BlackRock boosts AI and US equity exposure in $185 billion models appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BlackRock is steering $185 billion worth of model portfolios deeper into US stocks and artificial intelligence. The decision came this week as the asset manager adjusted its entire model suite, increasing its equity allocation and dumping exposure to international developed markets. The firm now sits 2% overweight on stocks, after money moved between several of its biggest exchange-traded funds. This wasn’t a slow shuffle. Billions flowed across multiple ETFs on Tuesday as BlackRock executed the realignment. The iShares S&P 100 ETF (OEF) alone brought in $3.4 billion, the largest single-day haul in its history. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) collected $2.3 billion, while the iShares US Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF (DYNF) added nearly $2 billion. The rebalancing triggered swift inflows and outflows that realigned investor exposure on the back of performance data and macroeconomic outlooks. BlackRock raises equities on strong US earnings The model updates come as BlackRock backs the rally in American stocks, fueled by strong earnings and optimism around rate cuts. In an investment letter obtained by Bloomberg, the firm said US companies have delivered 11% earnings growth since the third quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, earnings across other developed markets barely touched 2%. That gap helped push the decision to drop international holdings in favor of American ones. Michael Gates, lead portfolio manager for BlackRock’s Target Allocation ETF model portfolio suite, said the US market is the only one showing consistency in sales growth, profit delivery, and revisions in analyst forecasts. “The US equity market continues to stand alone in terms of earnings delivery, sales growth and sustainable trends in analyst estimates and revisions,” Michael wrote. He added that non-US developed markets lagged far behind, especially when it came to sales. This week’s changes reflect that position. The move was made ahead of the Federal…
