MetaComp Co-Presidents on Evolving the Future of Cross-Border Finance
As the digital economy continues to evolve, infrastructure that is secure, regulatory-aligned and institutionally robust has now become a new benchmark. Based in Singapore and regulated under the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), MetaComp is fast emerging as a regional force in digital asset infrastructure. Its mission is to bridge the world of traditional finance with the next generation of programmable, cross-border finance — starting with compliance-first tools that unlock real-time global liquidity.
With the launch of StableX, a proprietary FX and liquidity platform powered by stablecoins and USD, MetaComp is reshaping how institutions move money across borders. Now fully integrated into the firm’s institutional-grade Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP), StableX offers smart FX routing, faster settlement, and cost-efficient conversions across 31 major and exotic currencies — with the regulatory clarity global businesses demand.
From Web2.5 architecture and wallet screening tools to cross-border stablecoin rails and embedded ESG capabilities, MetaComp is quietly building the digital scaffolding for tomorrow’s financial ecosystem. In this exclusive interview, co-presidents Eddie Hui and Tin Pei Ling speak to LUXUO about the firm’s infrastructure vision, their commitment to trust and compliance and how MetaComp is empowering institutions across Asia and beyond to operate in a truly borderless digital economy.
Can you elaborate on how MetaComp’s Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP) enables institutions and payment service providers to manage both fiat and digital assets within a unified, secure environment?
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
CAMP is MetaComp’s institutional platform, offering custody, OTC trading, and cross-border money movement, now enhanced by StableX, our proprietary FX infrastructure and smart liquidity routing engine.
With StableX integrated into CAMP, clients benefit from real-time, 24/7 access to cross-border FX powered by stablecoins and USD, enabling faster and more cost-effective transactions. StableX intelligently routes transactions across the most efficient rails, reducing costs, cutting settlement times from days to hours, and eliminating unnecessary intermediaries.
Designed for scale, CAMP delivers a unified treasury solution combining FX execution, payment-on-behalf (POBO), collection-on-behalf (COBO), and wealth management (offered through our affiliated company Alpha Ladder Finance), built to support global financial operations in a digital-first world.
How is MetaComp innovating to meet the evolving needs of today’s trading ecosystem?
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
MetaComp is innovating at the intersection of compliance, efficiency, and digital asset infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of today’s trading ecosystem. StableX, our programmable FX execution infrastructure, enables instant, cost-efficient cross-border transactions across 31 currencies, using stablecoins and USD as core liquidity rails.
What sets us apart is the combination of execution agility and deep compliance integration. We deliver faster settlements, competitive rates and deep liquidity to trading institutions, all without compromising on regulatory oversight. Through our Web 2.5 architecture, we empower institutions to confidently engage with both traditional and digital assets in a seamless manner with the peace of mind that their funds are safe.
MetaComp embeds full-spectrum AML, KYT, and CFT controls into its platform, ensuring every transaction is traceable, auditable, and compliant by design. A must for institutions operating at scale.
Who are the typical & regular users of MetaComp?
Spokesperson: Tin Pei Ling
MetaComp serves a growing base of over 500 institutional and accredited clients, including payment service providers (PSPs), fintechs, asset managers and HNWIs. Our Payment Service Providers (PSPs) partners use MetaComp’s 24/7 infrastructure to power fast, cost-efficient FX conversions and stablecoin settlements, particularly across underserved or fragmented currency corridors.
Clients depend on MetaComp for regulatory-compliant access to cross-border payments, multi-currency settlements, and secure digital asset custody. Institutions and businesses transitioning from traditional finance into the digital economy will benefit from the infrastructure that we provide for them.
How strong is the team at MetaComp and what is the background of its key founding members?
Spokesperson: Tin Pei Ling
MetaComp is steered by a diverse leadership team of traditional-finance veterans, web3 pioneers, fintech innovators, technologists, and compliance specialists, each bringing deep expertise from their respective areas and united by a shared mission to build secure, scalable and future-ready financial infrastructure.
My focus is on strategic partnerships and business development, strengthening our regional footprints and ensuring strong stakeholder alignment. My fellow co-president and COO, Eddie Hui, draws upon two decades in financial services and leads operational strategy, platform architecture, and regulatory integration. Our governance is anchored in MAS standards, and our system architecture is built to meet institutional expectations for control, auditability, and operational integrity.
As the regulatory landscape advances, how is MetaComp adapting its compliance and operational frameworks to stay ahead?
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
Being compliant is not just an obligation — it’s part of our DNA. We strongly believe that one must build on solid foundations before venturing into uncharted territory. That’s why we consistently anchor our operations to the MAS regulatory framework, ensuring that the ecosystem we build is safe and resilient while contributing to the industry’s advancement.
Every component of our architecture is designed in close consultation with our compliance team. We also continuously monitor developments in this fast-evolving space to adapt and implement the necessary guardrails to protect our clients’ assets and uphold institutional confidence. In an industry defined by rapid change, we believe firms that embrace regulation as a strategic pillar will be the ones that endure. MetaComp is building for the long-term trust, not short-term gain.
MetaComp has developed WalletSafe, a proprietary wallet screening tool that helps clients make more informed decisions before transacting. Can you tell us more about what WalletSafe does and how it works?
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
WalletSafe is MetaComp’s proprietary wallet scanning solution, designed and engineered for institutional and accredited clients who require enhanced risk controls in digital asset transactions.
It aggregates intelligence from multiple professional databases and applies MetaComp’s proprietary methodology to assess the credibility of external wallet addresses. By evaluating the risk level of counterparties before a transaction is initiated, WalletSafe helps clients mitigate exposure to illicit or high-risk activities, contributing to a safer and more compliant ecosystem.
Integrated into CAMP, WalletSafe brings an added layer of protection to digital asset transactions, especially critical in an environment where blockchain anonymity can increase exposure to risk.
MetaComp’s parent company, Alpha Ladder Group (f.k.a MVGX Holdings), recently partnered with Kazakhstan’s leading green electricity producer, AQ Group, green energy and financial infrastructure initiatives.
What does this partnership mean for MetaComp?
Spokesperson: Tin Pei Ling
This partnership is led by our parent company, Alpha Ladder Group, with MetaComp playing a strategic role as a digital infrastructure enabler. Through this collaboration with Kazakhstan’s AQ Group, we are extending our capabilities into sustainable finance, supporting blockchain-powered ESG products and real-time cross-border fund flows that accelerate capital deployment into green projects.
The partnership gives MetaComp a practical role in delivering technology infrastructure for payment rails that support environmental goals. As Asia leads the way in responsible financial innovation, MetaComp is committed to scaling reliable and compliant rails that connect capital to real-world impact.
With international expansion on the horizon, how does MetaComp approach cross-border regulatory alignment and licensing?
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
MetaComp is built on a foundation of regulatory compliance, which we see as critical to sustainable and responsible growth. Licensed under the Payment Services Act in Singapore, we benefit from one of the world’s most forward-thinking regulatory frameworks for digital assets.
As we expand beyond Singapore, we face three key regulatory challenges:
1. Regulatory Fragmentation: The global regulatory landscape for digital assets is highly fragmented. Each jurisdiction takes a different approach to digital asset regulation. From Europe’s MiCA framework, to state-by-state requirements in the United States, to sandbox regimes across Asia-Pacific. Without a global standard, we must navigate and adapt to a patchwork of evolving rules, balancing innovation with local compliance.
2. Pace of Regulatory Change: The regulatory landscape for digital assets is evolving rapidly, often faster than the development of formal legislation or guidance. This dynamic environment creates ambiguity in certain markets, particularly around permissible business models and product offerings. It requires us to build agility into our compliance and product strategy, not just to meet today’s requirements, but to anticipate and adapt to tomorrow’s expectations.
3. Stablecoin Frameworks: As a company focused on cross-border payment infrastructure, stablecoin regulation is central to our operations. Singapore has led the way with early clarity, whilst many jurisdictions are still defining their frameworks. This requires us to take a cautious and considered approach when designing cross-border payment solutions involving stablecoins.
At MetaComp, we don’t view regulation as a roadblock. We see it as a competitive advantage. Our strategy is to embed compliance into our product design, engage proactively with regulators, and expand in step with regulatory maturity across markets.
Where do you see MetaComp in five years from now?
Spokesperson: Tin Pei Ling
In five years, we envision MetaComp at the forefront of programmable finance and cross-border infrastructure.
We see StableX becoming Asia’s most trusted FX infrastructure, powered by stablecoins and USD. We will enable real-time, multi-currency settlement at scale, 24/7.
We aim for StableX to serve as the institutional backbone for cross-border flows across APAC, the Middle East, and Europe, empowering payment service providers and digital finance platforms to serve their clients, more efficiently and with greater confidence.
As CAMP evolves, MetaComp will continue to expand how programmable finance is applied. From embedded payments and streamlined liquidity to integrated financial services that support real-world use cases at scale. CAMP is purpose-built and will continue to be improved and refined based on the needs of our partner clients.
Our vision is clear: to build the infrastructure that moves value as seamlessly as the internet moves information; secure, compliant, and built for real-time global access.
Spokesperson: Eddie Hui
Our goal is to build a platform that is both compliant and interoperable across jurisdictions, supporting global expansion with a strong regulatory foundation.
We’re building MetaComp to be the trusted digital infrastructure layer for banks, PSPs, and fintechs as they navigate the shift into the tokenised economy, starting with our Web2.5 architecture that bridges traditional systems with next-generation finance.
Over the next five years, we aim to support seamless transitions from Web2 to Web3 through a secure, modular infrastructure built for global scalability, interoperability, and regulatory resilience.
