Singapore's MetaComp Raises Pre-A+ Round Backed By Alibaba, Closing Total US$35 Million Pre-A Funding in 3 months to Accelerate Asia's Regulated Web2.5 Pay and Wealth[1] Group-Level Platform

SINGAPORE, March 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MetaComp Pte. Ltd, Asia's pioneer in unified Web2.5 payments and wealth^[1] group-level platform together with other licensed affiliates, today announced the completion of its Pre-A+ funding round, bringing the cumulative total to US$35 million across two rounds in three months. This accelerates the mission of MetaComp and its affiliates — including Alpha Ladder Finance Pte Ltd (Alpha Ladder), the Capital Markets Services (CMS) and Recognised Market Operator (RMO) licensed entity responsible for all products and services relating to securities and capital markets products — to build Asia's definitive Web2.5 integrated payments and wealth^[1] group-level platform, with stablecoin/fiat hybrid payment and securities/RWA token hybrid wealth^[1] management.

The group serves global enterprises, financial institutions, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) by delivering hybrid fiat and stablecoin payment solutions, access to traditional and tokenised wealth^[1] management products, and AI-enhanced compliant financial services on a single regulated architecture.

This latest round was backed by Alibaba, Spark Venture, and other institutional investors, with existing shareholders co-investing. 100Summit Partners served as exclusive financial adviser. The new capital will accelerate MetaComp's StableX Network expansion across high-growth corridors in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, where demand for compliant, real-time cross-border settlement continues to surge. It will also accelerate MetaComp's AI strategy to develop an Agent-Skills-MCP (Model Context Protocol) architecture — a future-ready infrastructure supporting agentic Web2.5 payment and wealth services.

MetaComp achieved full-year net profitability in 2025, demonstrating the commercial viability of regulated Web2.5 digital financial solutions at institutional scale. Combined with operating cash flows and other capital sources, the close brings MetaComp's immediate available liquidity to over US$100 million, establishing a strong foundation for more efficient fiat/stablecoin hybrid payments and securities/RWA token hybrid wealth^[1] product offering with affiliates.  

Building Asia's Web2.5 Payment and Wealth^[1] Solutions Group-level Platform at Scale

MetaComp's positioning combines comprehensive licensing from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) with proprietary technology purpose-built for the Web 2.5 era, where traditional finance and digital assets converge under unified regulatory frameworks. Licensed as a Major Payment Institution to provide Digital Payment Token (DPT) and Cross-border Money Transfer (CBMT) services, MetaComp provides regulated cross-border payment and settlement capabilities to 1,000+ institutional and accredited clients across a global network of major cities and key financial hubs.

Through Alpha Ladder, the MAS-licensed CMS and RMO affiliate of MetaComp, clients access integrated payment and treasury management (WealthX) capabilities spanning both traditional and digital asset classes.

The proprietary Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP) operated by MetaComp and Alpha Ladder run at a monthly run rate of more than US$1 billion and accounts for more than US$500 million in wealth assets. In 2025, the group-level platform processed over US$10 billion in payments and over-the-counter (OTC) volume across 13+ stablecoins. At its core is the StableX Network — MetaComp's institutional settlement and liquidity network powered by StableX Engine and VisionX Compliance Engine. Through PayX (payments) and WealthX^[1] (treasury and investment access), institutions can move, convert, safeguard and grow capital on one unified Web2.5 group-level platform.

Institutional Validation and Strategic Capital

Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp, said: "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. Two consecutive funding rounds in three months reflect strong institutional confidence in that thesis. Traditional payment systems remain constrained by multi-day settlement cycles, high costs and limited currency coverage, and that gap is exactly what we were founded to solve. 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."

Spark Venture commented:
"MetaComp is building next-generation payment infrastructure at the intersection of fiat and digital assets — a market we believe represents tens of trillions of dollars in opportunity. As regulatory frameworks mature globally and AI converges with blockchain, demand is accelerating fastest in emerging markets, where the conditions exist for an entirely new class of payment leaders to emerge. MetaComp's founding team brings more than 20 years of combined experience across finance, technology, and blockchain, underpinned by a comprehensive licensing framework. We are firmly committed to supporting MetaComp's long-term growth as it builds toward that vision."

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CASEKOO, a leader in innovative mobile lifestyle accessories, today announced the launch of LinKOO, a groundbreaking phone case featuring the world's first open clasp system. Celebrating the vibrant energy and happiness of Spring, LinKOO is designed for the season's getaways, outdoor adventures, and everyday moments of delight.

The magic of LinKOO happens when the chain comes off. Engineered with a patented clasp at the base of the case, it securely holds a chain or wristlet to complement any spring look. But the true innovation? The clasp folds completely flat against the phone when not in use—instantly transforming from a statement accessory into a sleek, pocket-friendly case built for life in motion.

"Spring represents a time of renewal and reconnection, so we designed LinKOO to be the perfect companion for the season's adventures," said Ralph, founder of CASEKOO. "We've engineered a clasp that simply 'disappears' when you don't need it—giving our community the freedom to move seamlessly from a morning run to an afternoon of shopping, all while keeping their style and their phone protected. But what truly excites us is how LinKOO sparks curiosity. It's designed to be noticed—inviting others to come closer, to ask what it is, and to start a conversation. Because the best connections happen when we're open to them."

A Joyful, Adventure-Ready Design
Just as the season calls for versatility and a touch of whimsy, the LinKOO case is built to adapt. Key features include:

World's First Open Clasp System: A unique, hinged clasp that opens to hold a chain and closes to lay flush against the case, offering a clean, uninterrupted profile.

Transformative 2-in-1 Design: Effortlessly switches between a secure chain-carry mode for hands-free convenience and a compact traditional case for slipping into a pocket or bag.

Spring-Ready Style & Protection: Constructed with a durable, impact-resistant frame and available in a range of fresh, seasonal colors and finishes to match any spring wardrobe.

Interchangeable Chain Compatibility: Works seamlessly with CASEKOO's collection of chains and straps, allowing users to mix and match for a personalized look that fits every spring adventure.

Playful Extras & Availability
Embracing the spirit of discovery, the LinKOO launch invites users to refresh their style for the new season. The CASEKOO LinKOO case is now available in Vital Orange for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, with a full range of colors and finishes rolling out in late May. To inspire endless mix-and-match possibilities, complementary straps are currently included with every LinKOO case purchase.

About CASEKOO
CASEKOO is a design-led lifestyle brand dedicated to creating style-forward phone accessories for life in motion. Built for Innovation Enthusiasts and Style Pioneers, the brand blends purposeful protection with modern design and personal expression—empowering individuals to protect what matters while expressing who they are.
