MemeStrategy (2440.HK) Partners with Leading Crypto Platform Helio, Providing Technical Advisory Support for AI-powered Meme Money Markets, Transforming Viral Memes into New Digital Era

HONG KONG, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MemeStrategy, Inc. (“MemeStrategy” or “the Company,” Stock Code: 2440.HK), Asia’s first publicly listed digital asset company, and Helio (a MoonPay company), a leading global crypto and stablecoin trading platform, today announced a strategic collaboration. The partnership aims to support Moonit, a cutting-edge launchpad and token trading platform developed by Helio, to amplify its innovation in advancing the creator economy through Web3 solutions centered on memes and tokenized ecosystems.

Moonit will launch the first AI-powered system, called Meme Money Markets, to instantly tokenize viral memes, converting cultural assets into on-chain assets.

MemeStrategy will leverage its extensive Web3 expertise to provide technical advisory services and strategic guidance for the platform’s development. Additionally, the Company will identify and recommend high-profile creators and digital platforms with robust creator networks to enhance the project’s reach. It will also offer strategic recommendations to boost public education and visibility.

“We are excited to partner with MoonPay and Helio to help realize Moonit’s vision for the creator economy – establishing a new monetization model for cultural assets,” said Ray Chan, Chairman and CEO of MemeStrategy. “With our deep expertise in Web3, MemeStrategy is uniquely positioned to support Moonit’s success and empower creators to unlock real-world value in an evolving digital landscape.”

“Meme Money Markets rewrite the rules by removing middlemen aka “the dev”  entirely,” said Stijn Paumen, CEO of Helio. “It doesn’t wait for permission or spin. It captures raw virality and injects it directly into the on-chain bloodstream. It’s the purest, most trustless expression of attention-as-value ever deployed.”

MoonPay, recognized as a CNBC Disruptor 50 company, is a trusted leader in the global crypto ecosystem, serving over 30 million users across 180 countries and powering infrastructure for nearly 500 companies, including major platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, and Mastercard. Fully licensed in the U.S. and regulated in the UK, EU, Canada, and Australia, MoonPay facilitates seamless fiat-to-crypto transactions, driving mainstream adoption of digital assets. This collaboration underscores MoonPay’s commitment to fostering innovation through Moonit, redefining how creators engage with tokenized platforms.

Born originally from DEX Screener’s Moonshot and reborn now as a collaboration between Helio, MoonPay, and DEX Screener, Moonit is now the definitive infrastructure for real-time culture-to-crypto conversion. To date, it has powered over 300,000 token launches and onboarded 700,000+ users.

New Force in Vaccine National Team: NHRI Spin-off ‘TaiU’ Completes US$2M Seed Round Led by MVL Seed Fund

TAIPEI, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan Universe BioMedicine (TaiU), a startup spun off from the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI), today announced the completion of a NT$60 million (approx.US$2 million) seed funding round with assistance from Mosaic Venture Lab (MVL). The round, led by Mosaic Seed Fund, also secured a matching investment from the National Development Fund, supported by the SMESA, MOEA, and the NiEA.

TaiU will fully accelerate the development of its product lines - bivalent enterovirus vaccine and a seasonal influenza VLP vaccine, towards clinical trials.
TaiU will fully accelerate the development of its product lines – bivalent enterovirus vaccine and a seasonal influenza VLP vaccine, towards clinical trials.

Founder and CEO Dr. Min-hsi Lee stated that TaiU’s two main product lines are advancing concurrently. Its lead product, a bivalent enterovirus vaccine, is in joint venture discussions with Vietnam’s largest pharmacy chain, vaccination center chain, and a CDMO. The second, a seasonal influenza Virus-Like Particle (VLP) vaccine, is gaining international attention for its ability to rapidly respond to viral mutations. This potential has attracted a major international pharmaceutical firm for discussions, while domestic MOUs with adjuvant biotech companies are creating powerful synergies to target the hundred-billion-dollar global vaccine market.

Company advisors affirmed its strategy. Dr. Mei-shang Ho, Chairperson of the Taiwan Association for Vaccine Industry (TAVI), noted, “VLP platform technology shortens development timelines. Its high safety and efficacy represent the future of next-generation vaccines and provide a solid foundation for Taiwan to meet the challenges of emerging infectious diseases.”

Professor Peter Chang, a former member of the Control Yuan with experience in vaccine investigations, added, “TaiU successfully links the ‘R&D National Team’ and the ‘Industry National Team,’ demonstrating how Taiwan can build a world-class biomedical industry ecosystem and is a crucial step in proactively expanding Taiwan’s public health and medical strength.”

Johnny Yu, TAVI Vice Chairperson and Managing Director at MVL, concluded, “Taiwan needs more innovative companies like TaiU with flexible, collaborative business models to fill critical industry gaps.” The funds will be used for preclinical trials, with plans to submit an IND application in 2026 and to be listed on the emerging stock market in 2028 as a key member of the “Vaccine Taiwan Team.”
