MetaComp Secures $35M in Pre-A Funding Backed by Alibaba
Singapore-based MetaComp, a digital finance infrastructure provider bridging traditional fiat payment rails and stablecoin settlement systems, has raised a total of $35 million across two Pre-A funding rounds completed within three months.
The latest round, announced March 13, 2026, was backed by Alibaba, Spark Venture, and existing shareholders. 100Summit Partners served as financial adviser.
$10B+ Processed in 2025
MetaComp operates a “Web2.5” platform that enables real-time, hybrid fiat–stablecoin payments. In 2025 the company processed over $10 billion in payments and OTC volume across 13+ stablecoins, according to the announcement.
Funds to Scale StableX Network & AI Features
Proceeds will be deployed to expand the StableX Network, MetaComp’s real-time cross-border settlement infrastructure. The company plans to prioritize high-growth corridors in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
Additional capital will support development of AI-powered “agentic Web2.5” architecture for automated payment orchestration and wealth management services.
Tin Pei Ling, co-president of MetaComp, commented:
“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.”
Full-Year Profitability & Strong Liquidity
MetaComp achieved full-year net profitability in 2025. Combined with operating cash flow and other sources, the new funding brings total available liquidity to more than $100 million.
The company’s regulated, hybrid fiat–stablecoin focus positions it to capture rising demand for fast, low-cost international transfers in emerging markets.
Market & Investor Takeaways
- Strong institutional validation — Alibaba’s participation adds significant credibility and strategic reach
- High-growth corridor focus — Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America represent massive untapped cross-border payment volumes
- AI + stablecoin automation — Early investment in “agentic” workflows could create long-term differentiation
Until further announcements on StableX Network rollout, new partnerships, or product launches, market reaction is likely to remain positive but measured.
Stay tuned — The Block will track MetaComp’s expansion and any new funding or product developments.
