Spacecoin goes live with SPACE token days after teaming up with Trump family–linked DeFi project
Spacecoin, the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) building a satellite internet stack, has launched its native SPACE token — just days after announcing a partnership with World Liberty Finance (WLFI), a decentralized finance project linked to the Trump family.
The token is already trading on major centralized exchanges including Binance, Kraken and OKX, and is available on decentralized venues such as PancakeSwap and Uniswap. According to CoinMarketCap, SPACE is trading roughly 12.2% below its launch price at the time of publication, with a fully diluted valuation of about $357 million.
Partnership, token swap and stablecoin tie-in
The token debut follows Spacecoin’s recent collaboration with World Liberty Finance that included a token swap and a shared roadmap to connect WLFI’s $3.2 billion USD1 stablecoin to Spacecoin’s planned satellite infrastructure. The two projects say the combined effort will target regions with poor or no broadband by pairing decentralized internet access with crypto-native financial services.
What SPACE is for
Spacecoin positions SPACE as the financial layer for its decentralized satellite internet network. The token is intended to fund and coordinate infrastructure deployment, while enabling users to trade, stake and participate in governance decisions tied to the network’s development and operation. Spacecoin has previously demonstrated blockchain-based communications from space with its first two satellites, CTC-0 and CTC-1, and says the token will integrate with that nascent network.
Airdrop for early supporters
Spacecoin has also opened an airdrop claim for early supporters who met eligibility requirements during prior promotional campaigns.
Why it matters
The combination of DePIN satellite infrastructure and DeFi rails aims to provide internet access and on-ramps to financial services in underserved markets, potentially reducing reliance on traditional telcos and centralized intermediaries. That said, the token’s early price dip and its sizable fully diluted valuation underscore typical market volatility and speculative risks around newly launched crypto projects.
We’ll continue to monitor listings, on-chain activity and rollout progress as Spacecoin moves to expand its constellation and deploy its decentralized network.
