On December 9, 2025, MetaComp Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-licensed stablecoin and cross-border payments provider, announced it raised $22 million in a Pre-A funding round, marking one of the largest for a Singapore-licensed stablecoin firm this year, per PR Newswire and Manila Times. Led by Dr. Bo Bai (Chairman) and Tin Pei Ling (Co-President), MetaComp, a subsidiary of Alpha Ladder Group Pte. Ltd., plans to expand its StableX Network and VisionX risk engine across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The funding validates regulated stablecoin infrastructure amid growing regional demand for compliant cross-border payments.
StableX Network, launched in November 2025 at the Singapore FinTech Festival, is a Web2.5 platform integrating traditional banking rails with stablecoin settlements, enabling T+0 conversions and real-time FX liquidity routing. Powered by the StableX Engine for multi-currency optimization and the VisionX Engine for embedded risk intelligence, it processes $1B+ in monthly volume across 30+ markets. Regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), StableX supports USDT and USDC for B2B transactions, reducing costs and delays compared to SWIFT. Posts from @MetaCompHQ emphasize its role in financial inclusion for SMEs.
The raise aligns with MAS’s stablecoin framework and Hong Kong’s August 2025 ordinance, fostering compliant ecosystems, per. Tin Pei Ling noted, “Enterprises now have clarity to modernize settlements; our volumes show demand for real-time, compliant payments,” per. Dr. Bo Bai added, “StableX and VisionX deliver stablecoin speed with regulated safeguards, positioning Asia as a digital finance leader,” per. The funding will accelerate local-fiat in/out integrations, targeting Southeast Asia’s $2T annual remittance flows, per. Investor Noah highlighted alignment with regulated frameworks in Asia and Africa.
MetaComp’s expansion could boost stablecoin use in B2B payments, with USDC volumes projected to hit $50B in Asia by 2026, per. Ethereum (ETH) ($4,070) and Bitcoin (BTC) ($113,234) remain stable, per CoinMarketCap, but regulated platforms like StableX may drive USDC to a $60B market cap, per. Risks include capital controls in some markets, per. Investors should track MAS updates on mas.gov.sg and StableX volumes via DefiLlama, and dollar-cost-average into USDC or ETH with stop-losses below BTC’s $112,000, per TradingView.
