TLDR:

  • Solana Mobile shipped 200,000+ devices across Saga and Seeker, generating over $5B in onchain volume.
  • The SMS stack integrates with Visa, Stripe, PayPal, and Western Union on Solana’s live financial rails.
  • Stablecoin volume on blockchains hit $27.6T in 2024, surpassing combined Visa and Mastercard totals.
  • Over 75,000 users claimed SKR at launch; 46% staked immediately, signaling strong early retention.

Solana Mobile unveiled its Solana Mobile Stack for Android device manufacturers at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The modular toolkit connects handsets to Solana’s blockchain infrastructure at the hardware level. 

It follows the shipment of over 200,000 devices and $5 billion in onchain transaction volume. The company now targets OEMs seeking recurring revenue beyond device sales.

Solana Mobile Stack Brings Hardware Crypto Wallets to Android Manufacturers

According to a press release, the stack bundles three core components: Seed Vault, Seeker Wallet, and the SKR token. 

Seed Vault integrates with a device’s existing secure element and trusted execution environment. Users authenticate via biometrics, similar to tap-to-pay. No seed phrases or third-party custodians are involved.

Seeker Wallet sits on top, giving users the ability to send, receive, buy, and sell digital assets. Peer-to-peer transfers and cross-border payments run at near-zero cost. 

Payment networks including Visa, Stripe, Western Union, and PayPal already operate on Solana. That means users connect to live financial rails from day one.

The stack is modular and opt-in. According to the official press release from Barcelona, it does not interfere with Google Mobile Services, payments certification, or Android security approvals. OEMs can deploy it by region, SKU, or product line. No platform fragmentation risk applies.

MediaTek, the leading smartphone chip vendor by global shipment volume, has opened its development platform to Solana Mobile. 

The stack runs production-ready on MediaTek Dimensity chipsets. Qualcomm chipset support is also included. Trustonic’s Kinibi TEE architecture is integrated for GlobalPlatform-compliant security.  

SMS Production Data and OEM Revenue Model Detailed at MWC 2026

Solana Mobile has six-plus months of real-world data from its Seeker device. The network reports 85,000-plus weekly active wallets and over $5 billion in onchain volume. 

More than 500 apps are published on the Solana dApp Store. Around 4,000 active developers are building across the ecosystem.

Devices have shipped to 50 countries. The US, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea lead sales. Solana reports 50 to 150 million monthly active addresses on its blockchain, per the press release.

Revenue sharing is built into the model. OEMs earn on transaction fees, staking commissions, and ecosystem activity as their installed base grows. The SKR token launched with over 75,000 claimants. Of those, 46% staked their tokens immediately.

Stablecoin transaction volume on blockchains reached $27.6 trillion in 2024, according to GSMA data cited in the announcement.

That figure exceeded the combined volumes of Visa and Mastercard. Mobile money transactions in emerging markets alone totalled $1.68 trillion that same year.

Regional deployment strategies differ. Emerging markets like India, Brazil, and Mexico focus on stablecoins and yield.

Developed Asia emphasizes self-custody and portfolio tools. Europe targets stablecoin yield and bank connectivity.

France’s Macron says UN snapback sanctions on Iran coming in a week

The post France’s Macron says UN snapback sanctions on Iran coming in a week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. French President Emmanuel Macron told Israel’s Channel 12 on Thursday that United Nations sanctions on Iran will be back in force at the end of September. Asked directly if the sanctions were a “done deal,” Macron replied, “Yes, I think so. Because the latest news we have from the Iranians are not serious.” Macron then explained that Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi “tried to make a reasonable offer” to European leaders, but his plan lacked support from others inside the Iranian leadership. On Wednesday, Iran gave Britain, Germany, and France a proposal aimed at avoiding sanctions. European leaders advance snapback mechanism Axios had reported that a draft resolution to extend the suspension of sanctions was circulated at the UN Security Council on Thursday, with a vote planned for Friday. But the draft is unlikely to pass, meaning the snapback mechanism would move forward, restoring sanctions on Iran come September 27. Britain, France, and Germany triggered the snapback process on August 28 under Resolution 2231. They demanded Iran return to negotiations, allow wider inspections, and explain missing uranium stockpiles. Araghchi warned last week that if sanctions return, “they will be excluded from nuclear negotiations with the Islamic Republic.” Oil prices showed little reaction to the political drama. Brent crude slipped 1 cent to $67.43 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate dipped 4 cents to $63.53. Both benchmarks remained on track for a second week of gains, even as the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates. The E3 offered to delay the sanctions for six months if Iran allowed inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency back into nuclear facilities and opened talks with Washington. Inspectors also sought answers about Iran’s enriched uranium stocks, which remain uncertain since Israeli and U.S. strikes hit Iranian nuclear sites in June. Germany warns sanctions…
