Spacecoin (SPACE) Token Launches as WLFI-Linked DePIN Satellite Internet Project Enters Public Markets

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi protocol associated with the Trump family, is set to see its infrastructure partner Spacecoin launch the SPACE token on January 23. The launch marks the first public market debut for Spacecoin, a project positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, decentralized infrastructure, and satellite-based internet connectivity. Binance Alpha is expected to be the first platform to list the SPACE token, drawing early attention from crypto investors and DePIN enthusiasts.

Spacecoin is a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) focused on delivering satellite internet through low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites rather than relying on traditional fiber networks, cell towers, or centralized satellite providers. The project claims its network routes encrypted data through satellites while logging transmissions on-chain, creating a permissionless and censorship-resistant internet layer. Spacecoin’s blockchain infrastructure runs on Creditcoin, which records satellite activity and verification events, allowing users to independently confirm whether data was transmitted and satellites were operational. The project has positioned itself as a decentralized alternative to centralized satellite internet providers such as Starlink.

Unlike many DePIN projects that exist mainly on paper, Spacecoin has already launched hardware into orbit. In December 2024, it deployed its first proof-of-concept satellite, CTC-0, which successfully routed blockchain transactions through space. This was followed in November 2025 by the CTC-1 mission, consisting of three additional satellites designed to test continuous coverage, satellite-to-satellite communication, and user authentication. Despite this progress, the network remains in pilot mode without full commercial deployment.

Spacecoin’s profile increased significantly after announcing a strategic partnership with WLFI, the issuer of the USD1 stablecoin. The partnership includes a token swap and plans to use USD1 as a settlement currency on Spacecoin’s network, enabling stablecoin payments and DeFi access in regions without traditional banking infrastructure.

The SPACE token will be used for data payments, staking, governance, and incentivizing infrastructure operators. With a total supply of 21 billion tokens and limited initial circulation, future unlocks may impact price performance. While Spacecoin’s ambition to offer internet access for $1–2 per month is bold, the launch ultimately tests market confidence in decentralized satellite infrastructure rather than proving long-term viability.
