PRNewswire

Singapore, December 9: MetaComp Pte. Ltd. ("MetaComp"), Singapore's leading licensed stablecoin cross-border payments and treasury management service provider, today announced it has raised US$22 million in its Pre-A funding round. This is one of the largest Pre-A raises this year for a Singapore-licensed stablecoin payments provider, closing amid a highly selective funding landscape.

Dr. Bo Bai, Chairman and Co-Founder of MetaComp, said, "Asia is entering a new stage of digital finance where settlement infrastructure must meet the standards of global trade. StableX and VisionX give enterprises the speed of stablecoins with the safeguards of regulated finance. For us, this round goes beyond capital support. 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 was backed by Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund and Beingboom Capital, with 100Summit Partners as exclusive financial advisor. The investor mix reflects deep expertise in supply chain, fintech infrastructure and institutional wealth management across Asia, underscoring MetaComp's strategic role in strengthening regional settlement infrastructure.

Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp, said, "With regulations around stablecoins gaining clarity, enterprises now have the clarity to modernise their settlement processes. Our volumes, now exceeding US$1 billion a month across more than 30 markets, show that businesses want real-time payments that combine speed with compliance. This funding allows us to scale StableX and VisionX across Southeast Asia and build the Web2.5 infrastructure that the region's digital economy can depend on."
