Spacecoin (SPACE), which states that it develops satellite-supported decentralized internet infrastructure, announced that it has signed an exclusive memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Vietnam-based technology company DETI Technology.

The agreement aims to establish decentralized satellite communications, sovereign routing, blockchain, and edge AI infrastructure in Vietnam.

According to the company’s statement, the project is designed to serve Mobifone and Gtel, two of Vietnam’s largest mobile operators. Spacecoin stated that the collaboration is worth approximately $100 million and aims to increase the use of decentralized technologies in the country’s communications infrastructure.

Is Spacecoin Trying to Capitalize on the Hype Surrounding the SpaceX IPO?

However, the announcement also sparked different debates within the cryptocurrency community. Some market participants speculated that Spacecoin, which uses the ticker SPACE, made this announcement to capitalize on the high attention given to SpaceX, which is expected to go public soon.

The comments suggested that the similarity in names between Spacecoin and SpaceX could attract investor interest. Virgin Galactic Holdings, which previously traded under the ticker symbol SPCE, has experienced speculative activity from time to time due to the strong interest in SpaceX. There have also been publicized examples of some individual investors confusing Virgin Galactic shares with SpaceX.

On the other hand, Spacecoin’s official statement did not include any assessment regarding these claims.
