Solana Mobile said it is working with MediaTek, Trustonic, and FX Technology on a hardware integration kit for Android devices, while SKR rose more than 33% over the past 24 hours.

SKR rose more than 61% to $0.03059 after Upbit added support across KRW, BTC and USDT pairs. Trading volume climbed 680% as the market focused on the token’s role in staking, governance and mobile Web3 services within the Solana Mobile ecosystem.

Solana Mobile said SKR will launch on Jan. 21, 2026, with a 10 billion total supply. Of that, 2 billion tokens will be airdropped to Seeker users and developers after Seeker Season 1 logged 265 dApps, over 9 million transactions, and $2.6 billion in volume.

Major cryptocurrencies declined over the past 24 hours, while smaller altcoins such as AIA, SKR, and NAORIS posted triple-digit gains, showing a sharp split across the market.

MEXC reported a 65% month-over-month surge in spot trading volume for newly listed tokens in January 2026, driven by infrastructure projects like AI agents, zero-knowledge networks, and DePIN. PENGUIN jumped 17,330%; SKR listed at +596%.

Crypto market cap dips 0.8% to $3.11T; BTC and ETH decline. LayerZero leads gainers with +15.35%, PUMP falls 6.55%. 21Shares launches Dogecoin ETF; JPMorgan analyzes Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade.

MEXC announces GOLD(XAUT) Launchpad featuring two USDT subscription pools, with new users eligible for up to 40% discount. Event runs until March 6, 2026. Previous Launchpad projects show strong returns, SKR achieving 596% peak.

Solana Mobile’s SKR token surge and Seeker 2 anticipation highlight a shift in airdrop mechanics: multi-device farming loses edge, single-device staking gains favor. Analysis argues this is infrastructure building, not a Ponzi scheme.
