Alpha Ladder Finance Pte. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Alpha Ladder) announced the official launch of its Web2.5 wealth management platform Alpha Ladder WealthX, which officially launched tokenized US stock products through xStocks, open to institutional investors and qualified investors in some markets of the Asia-Pacific region, becoming one of the first licensed wealth management institutions in Asia to implement this product.

This product launch relies on the strategic cooperation previously achieved between Alpha Ladder, MetaComp, and Payward. The three parties will work together to promote the development of the tokenized capital market in the Asia-Pacific region, with Alpha Ladder acting as the distribution partner for xStocks in certain regional markets.

Institutions and qualified investors in the Asia-Pacific region that meet qualification requirements, complete access review, and comply with due diligence can participate in xStocks investment through the Alpha Ladder WealthX platform.

This business launch marks the extension of Alpha Ladder WealthX's business landscape from traditional investment categories to the digital capital market, providing qualified investors with more wealth management options.

xStocks will map publicly listed stocks to the blockchain, issuing token products backed by sufficient collateral, with a 1:1 stock asset backing. Investors can gain exposure to the corresponding US stocks, while enjoying the advantages of all-day trading and on-chain native digital settlement. According to data disclosure, xStocks now covers more than 700 investment targets, with a total trading volume exceeding $40 billion, and over 200,000 global independent holders.

Tokenized Assets Accelerate Entry into Institutional Vision

Currently, tokenized securities are receiving more and more attention from institutional investors, and tokenized stocks are also the fastest-growing segment in the realm of real-world assets (RWA). CoinGecko statistics show that as of the end of March 2026, the total scale of on-chain real-world assets was approximately $19.3 billion, a significant increase from $5.4 billion in January 2025.

The willingness of institutions to allocate tokenized assets continues to increase. The 2026 Institutional Investor Survey Report jointly published by Ernst & Young and Coinbase shows that 63% of global institutional investors have a strong interest in tokenized assets, up 57% from the previous year. McKinsey predicts that by 2030, the total market value of global tokenized assets, excluding cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, is expected to reach $2 trillion.

As asset tokenization enters mainstream capital markets, the industry's focus is no longer limited to "whether financial assets can be tokenized," but rather on how to meet high standards for institutions in governance structure, investor access, compliance, and risk control through compliant financial channels.

In the future, Alpha Ladder, MetaComp, and Payward will continue to explore market opportunities in Asia-Pacific tokenization, expand new products, cooperative entities, and business scenarios, leveraging their respective advantages in capital markets, digital asset infrastructure, and institutional distribution networks.

About MetaComp

MetaComp Pte Ltd (MetaComp) is a global payment technology company headquartered in Singapore, dedicated to building a connected global payment platform. As a major payment institution licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), MetaComp has created payment channels for both fiat currencies and stablecoins, making fund transfers simpler and more reliable — when traditional channels like SWIFT are unavailable, the stablecoin channel still ensures smooth transactions, becoming a reliable alternative.

Its StableX Network, built on compliance, driven by agents, provides institutions and enterprises with a compliant Web2.5 financial framework. In this framework, funds can be flexibly transferred, exchanged, and managed between fiat and stablecoins, meeting one-stop needs for payments, fund management, and investment, covering both traditional and digital assets. Since its launch in November 2025, StableX Network has attracted over 1,000 members and partners, serving over 100,000 users.

Technically, MetaComp's self-developed foreign exchange infrastructure evaluates each transaction in real-time, integrating exchange rates and speed to automatically select the optimal settlement path. Its compliance intelligence engine VisionX can simultaneously screen fiat currency transactions and on-chain digital asset activities, providing strong support for anti-money laundering/anti-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) compliance and transaction monitoring. Additionally, MetaComp has launched the StableX KYA (Know Your Agent) framework, extending governance mechanisms to the agents themselves, ensuring that each AI agent on the platform can be identifiable, authorized, monitored, and accountable throughout its lifecycle.

This capability also extends to the wealth management domain: compliance intelligence is built into the product design from the outset, allowing institutions and enterprises to operate easily through AI agents, apps, web pages, or APIs, resulting in convenient, one-stop operation.

All of the above services are conducted under the major payment institution license held by MetaComp, covering digital payment token services and cross-border remittance services. Fund management and investment services are provided by its affiliate Alpha Ladder Finance Pte. Ltd., which is regulated by MAS and holds a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license.
