MetaComp, a Singapore-licensed stablecoin cross-border payments and treasury management provider, said it has raised US$22 million in a Pre-A funding round to expand StableX Network, a hybrid fiat-and-stablecoin settlement layer designed for regulated, real-time cross-border payments.
The company said the financing is among the most significant Pre-A raises this year for a Singapore-licensed stablecoin payments provider and follows the November launch of StableX Network, which includes an upgraded VisionX risk-intelligence engine. MetaComp said the launch and the new capital mark its transition into scale-up mode as the region moves toward broader adoption of regulated stablecoin settlement.
The round was backed by Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund, and Beingboom Capital, with 100Summit Partners serving as exclusive financial advisor. MetaComp said the investor mix reflects expertise across supply chain, fintech infrastructure, and institutional wealth management in Asia, aligning with its focus on building compliant settlement infrastructure for enterprise trade flows.
MetaComp said it holds a Major Payment Institution licence issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore under the Payment Services Act 2019. The company said it provides an end-to-end suite of digital finance solutions, including OTC and exchange trading, fiat payment rails, regulated digital asset custody, and brokerage services. It also highlighted its parent company Alpha Ladder Finance, which it described as a MAS-licensed Capital Markets Services licensee and Recognised Market Operator, and said it delivers Web2.5 treasury management services through its proprietary Client Asset Management Platform.
The StableX Engine, launched in May 2025, is positioned as MetaComp’s FX and liquidity engine for cross-border B2B flows. MetaComp said StableX supports both traditional SWIFT rails and multiple stablecoin networks, enabling 24/7 FX execution, optimal routing, and automated liquidity management. The company said the engine currently supports more than 10 stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, FDUSD, PYUSD, and WUSD, and plans to expand to other liquid, compliant asset types.
MetaComp said StableX Network extends those capabilities into a real-time settlement layer. Powered by the StableX Engine for FX and liquidity, and the VisionX Engine for compliance, the company said the network enables instant, transparent, and cost-efficient settlement across fiat and stablecoin environments. It said VisionX integrates multiple KYT databases, provides real-time monitoring, and supports dynamic risk scoring, and is designed to enhance inter-institutional collaboration through a shared intelligence layer.
MetaComp said it will use the proceeds to accelerate the expansion of StableX Network across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, enabling local fiat in, stablecoin rails across borders, and local fiat out. The company said the funds will also support technology development and broader market expansion to serve enterprises operating across multiple regulatory jurisdictions, as demand increases for compliant, high-speed settlement tied to rising regional trade flows.
MetaComp also positioned StableX as a next-generation cross-border FX and liquidity routing infrastructure that uses stablecoins and USD to optimize multi-currency conversions and settlements, and it described StableX as the FX layer within its Client Asset Management Platform, combining digital asset programmability with regulated infrastructure.
KEY QUOTES:
“Asia is entering a new stage of digital finance where settlement infrastructure must meet the standards of global trade. StableX and VisionX give enterprises the speed of stablecoins with the safeguards of regulated finance. For us, this round goes beyond capital support. It is validation from top-tier investors that regulated stablecoin settlement will be one of Asia’s defining financial rails over the next decade.”
Dr. Bo Bai, Chairman and Co-Founder of MetaComp
“With regulations around stablecoins gaining clarity, enterprises now have the clarity to modernise their settlement processes. Our volumes, now exceeding US$1 billion a month across more than 30 markets, show that businesses want real-time payments that combine speed with compliance. This funding allows us to scale StableX and VisionX across Southeast Asia and build the Web2.5 infrastructure that the region’s digital economy can depend on.”

MetaComp’s integrated Web2.5 “Payments + Treasury Management” strategy, anchored in stablecoin cross-border payments and enhanced by digital asset custody, positions the company to achieve significant scale in B2B settlement scenarios across emerging markets in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Noah will leverage its strengths in global high-net-worth client services and treasury management to collaborate closely with MetaComp on compliant digital asset and cross-border treasury solutions, delivering more secure and efficient payment capabilities for clients.
