MetaComp Funding Round Raises $35M Backed By Alibaba

Singapore-based digital finance provider MetaComp has raised $35 million across two Pre-A funding rounds completed within three months. The capital injection highlights sustained investor demand for infrastructure linking traditional payment rails with stablecoin settlement systems.

The latest round included participation from Alibaba, venture investor Spark Venture, and existing shareholders. 100Summit Partners served as financial adviser. The Singapore-headquartered firm operates a payment infrastructure platform designed to connect fiat transfers with blockchain-based settlement.

Singapore’s MetaComp Raises Pre-A+ Round Backed By Alibaba, Closing Total US$35 Million Pre-A Funding in 3 months to Accelerate Asia’s Regulated Web2.5 Pay and Wealth[1] Group-Level Platform

MetaComp reported processing more than $10 billion in payments and over-the-counter volume during 2025 across 13 stablecoins. The company said it achieved full-year net profitability during the same period and now holds over $100 million in available liquidity when combining the new funding with operating cash flow and other capital sources.

Can Stablecoin Infrastructure Reshape Cross-Border Payments?

The funding will primarily support expansion of MetaComp’s StableX Network, which enables real-time cross-border transactions using both traditional currencies and stablecoins. The firm plans to target high-growth payment corridors across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, regions where settlement delays and currency fragmentation remain persistent barriers.

Stablecoin settlement networks have attracted increasing institutional attention as payment firms search for alternatives to multi-day bank transfers. Data from Chainalysis indicates stablecoin transaction volumes exceeded $10 trillion globally during 2024, illustrating the scale of blockchain-based settlement infrastructure emerging alongside traditional finance.

“Traditional payment systems remain constrained by multi-day settlement cycles, high costs, and limited currency coverage, and that gap is exactly what we were founded to solve,” said Tin Pei Ling in a company statement.

MetaComp also plans to invest in artificial intelligence capabilities designed to support what it describes as an “agentic Web2.5” architecture. The approach aims to automate financial services such as payment routing and wealth management through AI-driven agents integrated with blockchain settlement rails.

Investors will likely monitor how quickly StableX adoption expands across emerging markets, where real-time cross-border settlement could offer immediate cost advantages over conventional correspondent banking networks.
