Singapore fintech MetaComp just wrapped up a Pre-A+ round on March 13, pushing its total Pre-A haul to $35 million in just three months. Investors included Alibaba, Spark Venture, and others, in addition to existing backers putting in more. 100Summit Partners handled financial advisory duties exclusively.
Co-President of MetaComp, Tin Pei Ling, said the following on funding: “MetaComp was built on a single conviction: that the future of cross-border finance is neither purely traditional nor purely digital – it’s the integrated Web2.5 architecture where fiat rails and stablecoin networks operate as one. This funding accelerates the StableX Network across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, where demand for compliant, real-time cross-border settlement is growing fastest.”
MetaComp calls itself a “Web2.5” financial infrastructure provider, bridging old-school finance and crypto, all under regulation. Its platform integrates fiat payments, stablecoins, and tokenized investment products into one system.
Some of the most important features include hybrid payments to help move money between fiat and stablecoins. Other features include tokenized assets to access securities and real-world tokens, and cross-border settlement built for institutions and enterprises.
MetaComp is regulated by MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) and holds a Major Payment Institution license, so it’s allowed to handle digital token payments and cross-border transfers.
The fresh funds will go mainly toward scaling MetaComp’s StableX Network, an institutional setup designed for instant money movement across fiat and stablecoin rails.
Target regions for growth include Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Funds will also help build out an AI-powered system using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which is designed for autonomous (agentic) payment and wealth tools.

MetaComp’s Notable Growth
For a startup in this space, MetaComp’s already moving some serious numbers. For instance, the platform processed over $10 billion in payments and OTC volume in 2025.
In addition, MetaComp supports more than 13 stablecoins and has over $500 million in wealth assets on the platform. It has a worldwide client base exceeding 1,000 institutional and accredited clients. The company also reported full-year profitability in 2025, which definitely helped draw investors to the round.
What is Web2.5?
Web2.5 describes platforms that mix traditional fintech infrastructure with blockchain tech from Web3.
Instead of going fully decentralized, Web2.5 companies focus on regulated crypto services, stablecoin payments, tokenized real-world assets, and enterprise-grade finance tools.
This model is catching on fast in Asia’s fintech scene, where regulators prefer controlled, regulated crypto systems over total decentralization.
