MetaComp secures $44.45m pre-A funding with Alibaba-Spark Venture support

This will fund the company's AI push and regional expansion.

MetaComp Pte. Ltd completed its Pre-A+ funding round, bringing total Pre-A funding to $44.45m (US$35m) across two rounds in three months. 

The funds will help the company expand its Web2.5 payments and wealth platform across Asia and other high-growth regions.

Alibaba, Spark Venture, and other institutional investors backed the round, alongside existing shareholders who co-invested. 100Summit Partners served as exclusive financial adviser, according to a press release.

MetaComp will use the proceeds to expand its StableX Network across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, and to advance its AI-driven Model Context Protocol infrastructure for Web2.5 payment and wealth services.

The company and its affiliates, including Alpha Ladder Finance Pte Ltd, provide hybrid fiat/stablecoin payments, traditional and tokenised wealth products, and AI-enhanced compliant financial services.

Global enterprises, financial institutions, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals use the platform.

The group achieved full-year net profitability in 2025. Combined with operating cash flows and other capital sources, the funding provides immediate available liquidity of over $127m (US$100m).

MetaComp operates under a Major Payment Institution license and offers Digital Payment Token and Cross-border Money Transfer services to more than 1,000 institutional and accredited clients.

Its Client Asset Management Platform manages over $635m (US$500m) in wealth assets and supports a monthly run rate exceeding $1.27b (US$1b).

In 2025, the platform processed over $12.7b (US$10b) in payments and over-the-counter transactions across 13 stablecoins. The StableX Network powers PayX payments and WealthX1 treasury and investment services.

The leadership team emphasised that the integrated Web2.5 architecture combines fiat and stablecoin rails to overcome multi-day settlement cycles, high costs, and limited currency coverage.

The team draws experience from investment banks, major internet platforms, licensed payment institutions, and regulated financial services globally.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
