Alibaba has led a $35 million investment round in Singapore-based fintech firm MetaComp, signaling growing interest in hybrid financial infrastructure that combines traditional finance with blockchain-based systems.
MetaComp provides payment and wealth management services built on a hybrid model that integrates stablecoins with fiat currencies.
The platform also supports tokenized securities and real-world asset (RWA) investment products, positioning itself within the emerging Web2.5 financial ecosystem.
The funding round was backed by Alibaba alongside venture capital firm Spark Venture and several institutional investors.
The capital raise brings MetaComp’s total funding to $35 million and is expected to support the company’s expansion into new international markets and accelerate product development.
MetaComp operates under a regulated framework in Singapore through its affiliate Alpha Ladder Finance, which holds Capital Markets Services (CMS) and Recognised Market Operator (RMO) licenses issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. These licenses allow the firm to provide services related to digital assets, securities, and capital market products.
The company offers hybrid financial services that combine traditional financial infrastructure with blockchain-based payment rails.
Through its system, enterprises and institutional clients can settle payments using either fiat currency or stablecoins while also gaining access to both traditional and tokenized investment products.
MetaComp said the latest funding will support the expansion of its StableX Network, a cross-border payment system designed to enable faster and compliant settlements between global markets.
The network is expected to expand across regions, including Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, where demand for real-time international payment infrastructure continues to grow.
Beyond payments, the company is also investing in artificial intelligence capabilities aimed at building a new Agent-Skills-MCP architecture.
The initiative is intended to support AI-driven financial services, enabling automated compliance processes, intelligent payment routing, and advanced wealth management tools.
The investment reflects broader industry momentum around hybrid financial systems that merge traditional finance with blockchain-based infrastructure.
As global commerce increasingly requires faster cross-border settlement and tokenized asset access, firms like MetaComp are positioning themselves at the intersection of fintech innovation and regulated financial services.
