MetaComp secures $22m to scale hybrid stablecoin–fiat network

By Vriti Gothi

Singapore’s MetaComp has raised $22 million in a Pre-A funding round to accelerate the rollout of its hybrid stablecoin–fiat payments infrastructure across Asia. The raise, one of the largest Pre-A rounds this year for a Singapore-licensed stablecoin provider, comes as investors selectively back regulated digital asset infrastructure while enterprises seek faster and more compliant cross-border settlement options.

The funding follows MetaComp’s recent launch of the StableX Network, built on its enhanced VisionX risk-intelligence engine, marking the company’s shift into scale-up mode. MetaComp holds a Major Payment Institution licence under Singapore’s Payment Services Act and offers OTC trading, fiat payment rails, regulated digital asset custody and brokerage. Together with its MAS-licensed parent Alpha Ladder Finance, it provides treasury management services through a Web2.5 architecture that integrates traditional finance systems with stablecoin networks.

Dr. Bo Bai, MetaComp’s Chairman and Co-Founder, said,  “The round reflects growing confidence in regulated stablecoin settlement models. He noted that the region is entering a new stage of digital finance where settlement infrastructure must meet the standards of global trade. StableX and VisionX deliver the speed of digital assets alongside the safeguards of regulated finance.”

The funding was backed by Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund and Beingboom Capital, with 100Summit Partners as exclusive financial advisor. Investors highlighted MetaComp’s role in strengthening regional settlement infrastructure and its ability to serve rising demand for compliant, real-time payments across Asia.

Co-President Tin Pei Ling said enterprises now have clearer regulatory guidance on stablecoin usage, prompting them to modernise settlement processes. She noted that MetaComp’s monthly transaction volumes exceed $1 billion across more than 30 markets and said the financing will support expansion of the StableX and VisionX platforms across Southeast Asia.

MetaComp plans to extend StableX Network’s capabilities to support local-fiat-in, stablecoin-based cross-border transfers, and local-fiat-out, while expanding into South Asia and the Middle East. Investors expect the company’s integrated payments and treasury management approach to gain traction across emerging markets, citing stablecoin settlement as an increasingly important component of Asia’s financial infrastructure as the region’s digital economy matures.
