Spacecoin Debuts on Binance Alpha Following Trump-Backed WLFI Token Swap

Spacecoin (SPACE) began trading today on Binance Alpha, a new verified token launch platform, propelling the DePIN project to a $40 million market cap within hours of its Token Generation Event (TGE). The launch follows a strategic token swap with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the DeFi protocol associated with President Donald Trump’s family, positioning SPACE as a settlement layer for satellite-based crypto transactions.

Binance Alpha & Market Action

Spacecoin is the first asset to leverage the Binance Alpha model, which creates a point-gated airdrop mechanism for early liquidity. Users holding a minimum of 227 Alpha Points were eligible to claim allocations from a 6,720 SPACE reward pool per user, a mechanic that drove immediate secondary market velocity. SPACE is currently trading at $0.017 (+6.4%) with $96 million in 24-hour volume, signaling heavy retail turnover relative to its initial circulating supply of 2.15 billion tokens (10.25% of total supply).

The Trump-DeFi Connection

The market interest is partially driven by Spacecoin’s integration with the “Trump Trade” ecosystem. Earlier this week, Spacecoin announced a partnership with World Liberty Financial involving a mutual token swap. The deal prioritizes the use of WLFI’s stablecoin, USD1, for settlements over Spacecoin’s low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. This infrastructure aims to facilitate crypto payments in regions lacking terrestrial internet, effectively extending DeFi access to offline demographics.

Liquidity Structure

In a rare move for a new asset, Spacecoin launched with a direct fiat-pegged stablecoin pair outside of USDT/USDC. KuCoin and Aster listed the SPACE/USD1 pair immediately, validating the WLFI integration. WLFI itself remained stable at $0.177 following the integration news. The SPACE contract (0x87ac...bdc00 on BNB Chain) has already seen high on-chain activity, with traders speculating on the project’s utility as a DePIN layer for the incoming US administration’s crypto-friendly stance.
