Singapore's MetaComp Raises $22M for Stablecoin Payment Network

MetaComp, a Singapore-licensed stablecoin payments provider, has raised $22 million in a pre-Series A funding round to scale its cross-border settlement infrastructure across Asia.

The round was backed by Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund and Beingboom Capital, with 100Summit Partners serving as financial advisor.

MetaComp holds a Major Payment Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and processes over $1 billion in monthly payment volume across more than 30 markets, according to the announcement on Tuesday. The company launched its StableX Network in November, combining its payment engine with VisionX risk-intelligence technology.

The StableX system supports both traditional Swift rails and multiple stablecoin networks, including USDT, USDC, RLUSD, FDUSD, PYUSD and WUSD. The platform provides 24/7 foreign exchange execution, routing optimization and automated liquidity management for business-to-business flows.

Tin Pei Ling, co-president of MetaComp, said increasing regulatory clarity around stablecoins has enabled enterprises to modernize settlement processes. The company will use the funding to expand StableX across Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.

MetaComp operates alongside parent company Alpha Ladder Finance, which holds Capital Markets Services and Recognised Market Operator licenses from MAS. The combined structure provides treasury management services that bridge traditional finance with digital assets.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
