Singapore-based regulated digital finance provider MetaComp Pte. Ltd. has announced the successful closure of a $22 million Pre-A funding round, marking one of the largest early-stage raises for a licensed stablecoin payments provider in Singapore this year. The funding round, backed by prominent investors including Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund, and Beingboom Capital, with 100Summit Partners as exclusive financial advisor, signifies strong institutional confidence in the future of regulated stablecoin settlement infrastructure.

The capital injection follows the November 2025 launch of MetaComp's StableX Network, which incorporates the upgraded VisionX risk-intelligence engine. This launch signaled the company's transition into a scale-up phase, aligning with a broader regional shift towards regulated stablecoin-based settlement. MetaComp, which holds a Major Payment Institution licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), processes over $1 billion in monthly volume across more than 30 markets.

"Asia is entering a new stage of digital finance where settlement infrastructure must meet the standards of global trade," stated Dr. Bo Bai, Chairman and Co-Founder of MetaComp. "StableX and VisionX give enterprises the speed of stablecoins with the safeguards of regulated finance. This round is validation from top-tier investors that regulated stablecoin settlement will be one of Asia’s defining financial rails over the next decade."

The company's core technology, the StableX Engine launched in May 2025, is an intelligent FX and liquidity engine designed for cross-border B2B payments. It supports both traditional SWIFT rails and multiple stablecoin networks, providing 24/7 execution and automated liquidity management. The engine currently supports more than 10 leading stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, FDUSD, PYUSD, and WUSD, with plans to expand to other compliant digital assets.

The newly funded expansion will focus on scaling the StableX Network across Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. The goal is to enable a "local-fiat in, stablecoin rails across borders, local-fiat out" model, providing enterprises with compliant, high-speed settlement infrastructure. Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp, highlighted the regulatory tailwinds: "With regulations around stablecoins gaining clarity, enterprises now have the clarity to modernise their settlement processes."

Investors expressed strong belief in MetaComp's "Web2.5" strategy, which bridges traditional finance (Web2) and digital assets (Web3). Ron Cao, Founder of Sky9 Capital, noted, "Stablecoin payments are entering a structural growth phase, and MetaComp has secured an advantageous position." Frank Li of Beingboom Capital added that the company is "building a critical layer of digital financial infrastructure that improves stability, efficiency and compliance in global settlement."
