Singapore Fintech MetaComp Bags Alibaba Backing in $35m Fundraising

Singapore-based MetaComp has completed a Pre-A+ funding round backed by Alibaba, taking the fintech group’s total capital raised to $35 million across two rounds in three months, as it pushes to expand a platform that combines stablecoin payments with tokenised and traditional wealth products.

MetaComp said the fresh capital would support the buildout of its so-called Web2.5 payments and wealth platform alongside its licensed affiliates, including Alpha Ladder Finance, which holds Capital Markets Services and Recognised Market Operator licences in Singapore for products tied to securities and capital markets.

The latest round drew backing from Alibaba, Spark Venture and other institutional investors, with existing shareholders also participating. 100Summit Partners acted as exclusive financial adviser, the company said.

MetaComp, which is licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution, said it provides Digital Payment Token and cross-border money transfer services to more than 1,000 institutional and accredited clients across major financial hubs.

The group is pitching itself as a bridge between conventional finance and digital assets, offering hybrid fiat-stablecoin payment rails, treasury services and access to tokenised and traditional wealth products through its affiliated entities.

Through Alpha Ladder, clients can tap integrated payment and treasury services spanning both asset classes.

MetaComp said its Client Asset Management Platform, operated together with Alpha Ladder, is running at a monthly rate of more than $1 billion and holds over $500 million in wealth assets.

The broader group-level platform processed more than $10 billion in payments and over-the-counter volume across more than 13 stablecoins in 2025, according to the company.

The new funds will be used to expand the StableX Network across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, and to develop what the company called an Agent-Skills-MCP, or Model Context Protocol, architecture designed to support payment and wealth services built around AI-enabled workflows.

MetaComp said the latest raise, together with operating cash flow and other capital sources, lifts its available liquidity to more than $100 million.

Tin Pei Ling, MetaComp’s co-president, said the investment reflected rising institutional confidence in infrastructure that links traditional payment systems with stablecoin networks.

Investor Spark Venture said it sees strong demand for payment infrastructure that combines fiat and digital assets, particularly as regulatory frameworks mature in emerging markets.

MetaComp’s raise underscores how stablecoin infrastructure is increasingly being framed not as a retail crypto story, but as enterprise financial plumbing.

The company’s emphasis on licensing, compliance and institutional clients suggests it is targeting a more regulated segment of the market, where demand is growing for faster cross-border settlement and treasury tools that can work across both fiat and digital rails.

Alibaba’s participation could also help boost credibility as competition intensifies among Singapore-based firms trying to position themselves at the intersection of payments, tokenisation and regulated digital-asset services.
