World Liberty Financial has partnered with satellite internet project Spacecoin to connect its DeFi ecosystem to space-based infrastructure. The collaboration targets people in remote or unstable regions where broadband and banking services remain limited.
Spacecoin operates three low Earth orbit satellites as part of a decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN. The network aims to route encrypted blockchain data through satellites and provide permissionless internet access without relying on local telecoms.
World Liberty Financial plans to plug its USD1 stablecoin system into this satellite backbone. The aim is to let users send, receive, and settle transactions even when ground networks are weak, censored, or offline.
The integration will focus on low-cost cross-border payments, remittances, and basic lending tools. These services target regions that are currently excluded from modern financial and communication infrastructure.
USD1 Stablecoin At The Center Of The Plan
USD1 is a dollar-pegged stablecoin launched by World Liberty Financial in 2025 that now holds over 3.4 billion dollars in market value. It is already a settlement asset in the project’s lending platform, World Liberty Markets.
Under the Spacecoin deal, USD1 will become a primary currency for satellite-enabled DeFi apps. Users connected through Spacecoin terminals will be able to pay merchants, move salaries, and access credit using USD1 on-chain.
The partners argue that a stable asset is essential for people who cannot tolerate crypto price swings. Routing USD1 transactions through satellites also creates a backup path when local infrastructure collapses during disasters or conflicts.
Token Swap, Regulation, And Political Ties
A token swap between WLFI and SPACE sits at the core of the partnership. Each project now holds some of the other’s tokens, aligning incentives as they build shared payment and connectivity rails.
Shortly before the partnership, World Liberty Trust Company, an affiliate of World Liberty Financial, applied for a U.S. national bank charter. The filing with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency shows plans to issue and manage stablecoins under federal oversight.
The initiative also carries a political angle, as World Liberty Financial has ties to President Donald Trump’s family. That connection, combined with a new exchange push for the SPACE token, suggests the satellite DeFi network will face close regulatory and public scrutiny as it moves from pilots to full deployment.
