MetaComp raises $35M funding round

Web2.5 payment infrastructure

MetaComp is developing a Web2.5 financial model that combines traditional financial services with digital assets within a regulated framework. The company holds a Major Payment Institution license issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), allowing it to provide services related to digital payment tokens and cross-border transfers.

MetaComp serves more than 1,000 institutional and accredited clients across global financial hubs. Through its subsidiary Alpha Ladder Finance, which holds Capital Markets Services and Recognised Market Operator licenses, clients gain access to investment products, including solutions linked to tokenized assets.

A key component of the ecosystem is the Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP). It processes more than $1 billion in transactions each month and manages assets exceeding $500 million. During 2025, MetaComp’s infrastructure handled more than $10 billion in payments and over-the-counter transactions using 13 different stablecoins.

MetaComp co-president Tin Pei Ling said the company was built around integrating traditional finance with digital payment networks.

“MetaComp was built on a single conviction: that the future of cross-border finance is neither purely traditional nor purely digital — it's the integrated Web2.5 architecture where fiat rails and stablecoin networks operate as one.”

Growing investor interest in stablecoin infrastructure

According to Spark Venture, the market MetaComp operates in has significant potential.

“MetaComp is building next-generation payment infrastructure at the intersection of fiat and digital assets — a market we believe represents tens of trillions of dollars in opportunity.”

Demand for faster cross-border payments continues to grow, particularly in emerging markets. Stablecoins can significantly reduce the cost and time required for international transfers, making such platforms increasingly attractive to banks, fintech firms, and global corporations.

MetaComp plans to use part of the newly raised capital to expand the StableX network, which enables settlements between fiat currencies and stablecoins. The company is also developing AI-powered financial services based on the Agent-Skills-MCP (Model Context Protocol) architecture.

Earlier, Alibaba announced plans to significantly increase investments in technology infrastructure. In 2025, the company revealed plans to invest about $53 billion in artificial intelligence infrastructure, including cloud computing and data centers. The investment forms part of Alibaba’s long-term strategy to strengthen its position in AI infrastructure and digital platforms.
