Trump-linked WLFI aims for DeFi in orbit with Spacecoin deal

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a cryptocurrency venture tied to President Donald Trump’s family, has announced a strategic partnership with satellite-network builder Spacecoin to integrate decentralized finance with satellite internet connectivity ^[1][2].

The collaboration is anchored by a token swap between the two companies, and project communications indicate WLFI’s issued stablecoin USD1 may have a role in supporting on-orbit financial infrastructure ^[3][4].

Spacecoin — which has launched satellites and is building a constellation to provide permissionless internet access to remote and underserved communities — said the new network requires financial infrastructure purpose-built for global scale, a capability WLFI aims to enable ^[3][2].

The partners said the agreement targets joint efforts on payments, reconciliation processes and DeFi use cases in regions inaccessible to traditional networks, with the token swap forming a key element of the strategic tie-up ^[5][3].

The deal follows Spacecoin’s recent satellite launches and WLFI’s broader crypto initiatives; both firms will work to align satellite connectivity and decentralized financial services as they build out their respective infrastructures ^[3][1].
