MetaComp, Singapore’s licensed stablecoin cross-border payments and treasury management provider, has secured US$22 million in one of the largest raises at a pre-Series A round for a regulated stablecoin payments player in 2025.
The investors include Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund, and Beingboom Capital.
“StableX and VisionX give enterprises the speed of stablecoins with the safeguards of regulated finance,” MetaComp’s Chairman and co-founder Dr Bo Bai said. “It is validation from top-tier investors that regulated stablecoin settlement will be one of Asia’s defining financial rails over the next decade.”

The round follows MetaComp’s launch of the StableX Network, powered by its VisionX risk-intelligence engine — a next-generation settlement layer enabling 24/7 FX execution, multi-chain liquidity routing, and automated compliance.
Singapore’s growing influence as a digital finance hub
MetaComp’s growth reinforces Singapore’s emergence as the region’s anchor for institutional-grade digital finance. With a Major Payment Institution licence under the market regulator MAS and a strong compliance infrastructure, MetaComp bridges traditional finance and digital assets via a Web2.5 architecture that unifies SWIFT rails with leading stablecoin networks.
Singapore’s regulatory clarity — including MAS’s 2023 rules governing single-currency stablecoins — has accelerated adoption by enterprises and financial institutions seeking compliant, real-time settlement solutions. This clarity has also made Singapore the preferred base for scaling stablecoin infrastructure across Southeast Asia.
Stablecoin settlement gains momentum across SEA
MetaComp claims it currently processes over US$1 billion in monthly transaction volume across 30-plus markets, reflecting rising enterprise demand for instant, transparent and compliant cross-border settlement.
The StableX Engine supports over 10 stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, FDUSD, PYUSD and WUSD, and integrates deeply with KYT databases and real-time monitoring systems through VisionX. This shared intelligence layer enhances inter-institution collaboration while maintaining regulatory-grade oversight.
Investors see this as the foundation for MetaComp’s next phase. “Stablecoin payments are entering a structural growth phase,” said Ron Cao, founder of Sky9 Capital. “MetaComp has secured an advantageous position.”
Scaling into SEA, South Asia and the Middle East
With fresh capital, MetaComp will accelerate the expansion of StableX Network, enabling local-fiat in, stablecoin rails across borders, and local-fiat out, a key requirement for enterprises operating across jurisdictions.
The company expects demand for regulated stablecoin settlement to surge in Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East as trade flows intensify and treasury teams modernise their workflows.

Noah noted that MetaComp’s integrated “Payments + Treasury Management” approach positions it for significant scale across emerging markets, supported by Singapore’s robust regulatory frameworks and banking connectivity.
A defining moment for regulated digital finance in Asia
As Southeast Asia moves away from fragmented, high-cost cross-border transfers, regulated stablecoin settlement is emerging as the region’s next major financial infrastructure layer. MetaComp’s pre-A funding is not merely a capital injection; it is a signal that Singapore is shaping the future of cross-border payments and treasury management.
With deep regulatory alignment, growing enterprise adoption, and expanding regional demand, MetaComp is positioned to play a central role in building Asia’s next generation of digital financial rails.
