MetaComp completed a Pre-A+ funding round backed by Alibaba and Spark Venture, bringing the company’s total capital raised to US$35 million; the firm said the funds will support global expansion of its StableX Network [1].

The company — described in coverage as a Singapore-based fintech — said the financing will accelerate its regulated Web2.5 pay and wealth platform efforts.

The announcements frame the Pre-A+ round as part of a broader push to scale MetaComp’s payments and stablecoin offerings, with Alibaba’s backing highlighted by several reports [1] [2].
