World Liberty Financial, the crypto project associated with the family of US President Donald Trump, has entered a partnership with satellite startup Spacecoin to explore how decentralized finance could operate over space-based internet infrastructure.

In a blog post published Thursday, Spacecoin said the collaboration includes a token swap between the two projects, though financial terms were not disclosed.

The companies said the partnership is aimed at expanding access to digital financial services in regions where traditional banking and broadband infrastructure remain limited.

World Liberty Financial Says USD1 Targets Real-World Payments in Underserved Areas

Zak Folkman, co-founder of World Liberty Financial, said the initiative aligns with the project’s broader focus on real-world payments and settlement.

He said the USD1 stablecoin is designed to support transactions in environments where conventional financial rails are unavailable or unreliable, including remote and underserved areas.

Spacecoin is building a low-Earth orbit satellite network intended to provide internet connectivity beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband.

The company said it has already launched three satellites and is positioning its system as a decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN, that could support financial and communications services in hard-to-connect regions.

The partnership comes as World Liberty Financial continues to broaden the use cases for its USD1 stablecoin.

Beyond payments, the project has expanded into crypto lending through its World Liberty Markets platform, while promoting USD1 as a settlement asset for onchain and offchain activity.

USD1, a dollar-pegged stablecoin launched last year, has grown rapidly. Its market capitalization now stands at approximately $3.27 billion, placing it among the larger stablecoins in circulation.

World Liberty Financial has also stepped up its international outreach.

Earlier this month, Pakistan signed a memorandum of understanding with a World Liberty affiliate to explore potential applications of USD1 in payments and remittances.

The agreement marked one of the first instances of a sovereign entity formally engaging with the Trump-linked protocol.

Bitcoin Loses 25,000 Millionaire Addresses Despite Pro-Crypto Turn Under Trump

As reported, Bitcoin has shed roughly 25,000 millionaire addresses in the year since Donald Trump returned to the White House, even as US policy shifted toward a more crypto-friendly stance.

Blockchain data shows the number of addresses holding at least $1 million in BTC fell about 16% year over year, suggesting regulatory optimism has not translated into sustained on-chain wealth growth.

The pullback was less severe among the largest holders. Addresses with more than $10 million in Bitcoin declined by about 12.5%, indicating that top-tier investors were better able to withstand price volatility, while wallets near the millionaire threshold were more exposed to market swings.

Much of the increase in Bitcoin millionaire addresses occurred before Trump took office, driven by a late-2024 rally fueled by election-related optimism and expectations of deregulation.

The Trump family added about $1.4 billion in crypto-linked wealth since Jan. 20, 2025, while Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) is trading at $14.67 (+2.81%), after a multi-month slide that Bloomberg flagged as the main drag on the family’s balance sheet.

The WLFI Economic Engine

Bloomberg’s Tuesday tally hinges on World Liberty Financial (WLFI) economics that route cash flows to a Trump-affiliated vehicle. World Liberty’s own terms state that DT Marks DeFi, LLC and affiliates, including Donald J. Trump, received 22,500,000,000 WLFI tokens and collect 75% of net protocol revenues (and separately 75% of WLFI token sale proceeds after deductions under a service agreement).

The mark-to-market swing sits in the locked paper. The report cited by The Block says the family still holds founder tokens worth roughly $3.8 billion that Bloomberg excluded from net-worth math because the tokens remain locked.

A second pillar now links Trump-branded real estate to token rails. The Trump Organization and Dar Global announced on Nov. 17, 2025, that the Trump International Hotel Maldives will tokenize the development phase, with Eric Trump calling it a “new benchmark” for tokenized real estate investment and Dar Global CEO Ziad El Chaar calling it a “global first.” The announcement targeted an end-of-2028 opening and cited ~80 villas in the initial plan.

On the equity leg, Trump Media’s latest filed quarterly disclosure showed revenue sensitivity and rising costs tied to its streaming buildout. In its Form 10-Q filed Nov. 7, 2025, DJT reported $972,900 revenue for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, and cited higher content license and data center lease costs tied to Truth+.

What Traders Are Watching

For institutional trading desks, the current market environment represents a complex arbitrage between WLFI’s liquidity profile and broader policy-driven headline risk. The trade has evolved into a “political-beta” complex where the value of the 22.5 billion token grant and the 75% revenue-sharing agreement are inextricably linked to the administration’s regulatory posture.

Analysts are particularly focused on the March 2026 unlock schedule, viewing it as a potential liquidity cliff that could re-price the entire ecosystem. Because the protocol’s governance is highly concentrated—with a small number of affiliated wallets controlling the majority of the supply—institutions treat WLFI less as a decentralized utility and more as a centralized proxy for the family’s digital brand.

Consequently, DJT equity often acts as the listed vehicle for this sentiment, frequently “gapping” on news of token distributions, regulatory filings, or shifts in the protocol’s USD1 stablecoin supply. Any change in the enforcement environment or the transferability of these locked assets creates a dual-impact risk, affecting both the token float and the listed equity in a single correlated move.
