Sologenic SOLO Airdrop: How It Worked, Who Got Paid, and What’s Next in 2025

Back in 2021, if you held XRP in your personal wallet on December 24, you got free SOLO tokens. No sign-up. No KYC. Just hold, snapshot, and wait. That was the Sologenic airdrop - simple, direct, and ruthless in its rules. Fast forward to 2025, and things have changed. The old SOLO airdrop is long over. But now, there’s a new one - and it’s not for everyone. It’s for those who already held SOLO. This is the real story of how Sologenic distributed tokens, who got left out, and what’s coming next.

How the Original SOLO Airdrop Worked (2021)

The first major Sologenic airdrop happened in December 2021. It wasn’t open to just anyone. It was locked to XRP holders. If you had XRP in your wallet at exactly 8:00 PM UTC on December 24, 2021, you qualified. Not on Binance. Not on Kraken. Not on Zondacrypto. You had to have it in your own wallet - Exodus, Trust Wallet, Ledger, or any non-custodial XRP Ledger-compatible wallet. Exchanges flat-out refused to support it. Zondacrypto even posted a warning: "Withdraw your XRP or miss out."

Why? Because Sologenic wanted to build a real community of users, not speculators who just bought XRP the day before the snapshot. The reward? 40 SOLO tokens per eligible wallet. At the time, that was about $10. Not life-changing money, but enough to get people interested in the platform. The tokens arrived on January 20, 2022 - two full weeks after the snapshot. No delays beyond that, but it was still a wait.

Here’s the catch: if you left your XRP on an exchange, you got nothing. No exception. No refund. No second chance. Thousands missed out because they didn’t read the fine print. And that’s still the biggest lesson: airdrops don’t care about your exchange balance. They care about your private keys.

What Happened to SOLO After the Airdrop?

When SOLO first dropped, it traded around $0.25. By mid-2022, it dipped below $0.10. Many thought it was dead. But Sologenic kept building. They launched SOLONEX, a brokerage tool for institutional clients. They built the Sologenic DEX - the biggest decentralized exchange on the XRP Ledger. They released iOS and Android wallets. And slowly, the price crept back up.

By October 2025, SOLO was trading at $0.2849. Not a moonshot, but stable. More importantly, it had real use cases. You could trade fractional shares of stocks, ETFs, and commodities as tokens on the XRP Ledger. You could settle trades in seconds. That’s not hype. That’s what the platform does. And that’s why the next airdrop wasn’t for new users. It was for loyal ones.

The Coreum Airdrop: Sologenic’s New Loyalty Program

In September 2025, Sologenic partnered with Coreum to launch a new airdrop - but this one was completely different. No XRP required. No wallet snapshots for the public. This was a SOLO holder-only reward. If you held SOLO tokens in your wallet between September 18 and September 26, 2025, during the 12:00-16:00 UTC window, you were eligible for CORE tokens.

100 million CORE tokens were allocated. That’s a big number. But here’s the kicker: you didn’t get them right away. Distribution happened 6 to 8 weeks after the snapshot, on randomized dates. Why? To avoid panic selling. Sologenic didn’t want a flood of CORE hitting the market all at once. They wanted stability.

But there was another step. You had to set up a trustline with the Coreum gateway on the XRP Ledger. That’s not beginner-friendly. You needed to understand what a trustline is - a permission that lets your wallet accept a token it doesn’t natively support. If you didn’t do this, you got nothing. Even if you held SOLO. Even if you were eligible. No trustline? No CORE.

This wasn’t a free-for-all. It was a filter. It separated people who were just chasing free tokens from those who actually understood the ecosystem. Sologenic didn’t want users. They wanted participants.

Why This Matters for You in 2025

If you’re reading this now, you’re probably wondering: Can I still get SOLO or CORE for free? The answer is no - not through public airdrops. The big windows are closed. The XRP snapshot is history. The Coreum snapshot is history. There are no new public airdrops planned as of November 2025.

But here’s what’s still true: if you hold SOLO, you’re still part of the ecosystem. Sologenic is building tools for banks, hedge funds, and asset managers. They’re working on blockchain-based inheritance systems. They’re integrating with traditional finance. And every time they launch a new feature, they reward long-term holders. Not with a big airdrop. But with access.

Think of SOLO not as a speculative coin, but as a key. A key to a financial platform that’s quietly becoming the backbone for tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger. The airdrops were the door opener. Now, the real value is inside.

What You Need to Know Before Trying Any Future Airdrop

If you’re looking ahead, here’s what to remember:

• Never leave assets on exchanges for airdrops. Exchanges rarely support them. Always use your own wallet.
• Know the snapshot time. Airdrops are precise. One minute late? You’re out.
• Check if you need a trustline. Especially on XRP Ledger. If the token isn’t native, you must enable it manually.
• Wait for distribution. Don’t expect instant cash. Delays of weeks or months are normal.
• Track tax implications. In Australia, airdrops are taxable as ordinary income when you receive them. Keep records.

And if you’re holding SOLO right now? You’re not behind. You’re ahead. You’re in the inner circle.

What’s Next for Sologenic?

There’s no public announcement yet, but Sologenic’s roadmap points to more institutional partnerships. Think of them as the bridge between traditional finance and blockchain. Their next move could be an airdrop tied to real-world asset tokenization - maybe for investors who tokenize real estate or private equity. Or perhaps a loyalty program for users who trade through SOLONEX.

One thing’s clear: the days of free SOLO for anyone with XRP are over. The new era is about depth, not volume. Sologenic isn’t trying to attract millions anymore. They’re trying to build a financial infrastructure. And the people who stayed are the ones who get to use it first.
