World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency venture linked to the Donald Trump family, has entered a strategic partnership with Spacecoin, a project building a satellite-powered internet infrastructure network. The agreement includes a token swap to formally link the two entities and outlines collaborative efforts to integrate decentralized finance (DeFi) applications with satellite-based internet connectivity.
The partnership aims to enable payments, settlements, and financial coordination in remote and underserved regions where traditional banking and broadband infrastructure are weak or nonexistent. Spacecoin recently launched three satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) as part of its "decentralized physical infrastructure network" (DePIN) designed to provide permissionless internet access. "True digital freedom also requires access to robust, fair and open financial services," stated Spacecoin founder Tae Oh.
World Liberty Financial will support this vision by providing tools for users to send, receive, and settle payments on the network. This move aligns with WLFI's broader expansion; its subsidiary, World Liberty Trust Company, recently applied for a national bank charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The firm also manages the USD1 stablecoin, which has reached a market capitalization of approximately $3.2 billion, and operates the World Liberty Markets platform for crypto lending and borrowing.
The news follows a Bloomberg analysis indicating the Trump family has earned roughly $1.4 billion from crypto projects since the start of President Trump's second term.
