About Memento Research
Memento Research was founded in 2026 by Ash Liew, a crypto researcher who also serves as Investment Director at Signum Capital, focusing on DeFi and gaming. Liew previously worked at Swiss family office Dialectic and KPMG Singapore's advisory division. The firm positions itself as a crypto research hub offering technical research, strategic advisory, and go-to-market services.
The name "Memento" reflects its dual purpose: capturing lasting insights while embracing crypto's meme-driven culture. The platform targets retail participants, liquid fund analysts, and protocols seeking narrative development.
In May 2026, Memento Research published notable on-chain data showing crypto card spending reached $600M monthly, up 6x year-over-year, with $7.2B cumulative volume, 24M transactions, and 1.36M wallet addresses. USDT accounted for 62.5% of settlements, ~90% via Visa network, and Solana ecosystem contributed ~$348M.
Over the past six months, Memento Research has focused on deepening its analytical coverage of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and crypto payment infrastructure. Notable reports include analyses of GAIB's compute-backed yield model and mETH's institutional staking expansion, alongside data-driven insights on crypto card spending reaching $600M monthly. The firm has also expanded its research into DeFi-CeFi convergence and AI-driven financial primitives.
Looking ahead, Memento Research's stated roadmap emphasizes continued investigation into institutional-grade yield strategies, cross-chain liquidity orchestration, and the evolution of on-chain credit markets. The team plans to release more granular data products and framework-based research to support institutional adoption, particularly around tokenized treasuries, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and regulatory-compliant stablecoin applications.
