Alibaba-Backed MetaComp Bags $35M to Build Web2.5 Financial Infrastructure

Singapore-based fintech company MetaComp has secured $35 million in new funding in just three months. The investment round was led by Alibaba, along with support from Spark Venture and several institutional investors.

The funding raise reflects growing interest in Web2.5 financial infrastructure, a model that combines traditional finance with digital assets.

MetaComp Targets Hybrid Stablecoin and Fiat Payments

According to the company’s announcement on March 13, the new capital will help MetaComp expand its hybrid payment and wealth management platform across key global markets.

MetaComp focuses on building financial infrastructure that connects traditional banking rails with blockchain-based payments. Its platform allows businesses and financial institutions to move funds using both fiat currencies and stablecoins.

By offering hybrid settlement options, MetaComp aims to enable faster cross-border payments and treasury management.

Licensed Infrastructure Supports Web2.5 Finance

A key strength of MetaComp is its regulatory backing. The company operates under licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), allowing it to provide digital payment token services and cross-border money transfers.

Through its affiliate Alpha Ladder Finance, clients can also access tokenized investment products and traditional wealth services.

MetaComp’s Strong Growth Across Payments and Assets

The company reported significant growth across its financial platforms. In 2025 alone, MetaComp processed over $10 billion in payments and OTC trading volume. Its client asset management platform is now running at more than $1 billion in monthly activity.

At the same time, the company’s affiliated platform Alpha Ladder Finance manages over $500 million in wealth assets.

Despite operating in a fast-growing sector, MetaComp says it achieved full-year profitability in 2025, a milestone that many fintech startups struggle to reach.

Funding to Expand StableX Network and AI Infrastructure

With the new funding, MetaComp plans to expand its StableX Network, a platform designed for institutional settlement and liquidity. The network currently supports transactions across more than 13 stablecoins. 

MetaComp plans to expand the platform across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, where demand for faster cross-border financial settlement continues to grow.

At the same time, MetaComp is also developing an AI-based financial architecture known as Agent-Skills-MCP, designed to support future automated financial services within the Web2.5 ecosystem.
