MetaComp, a licensed provider of cross-border foreign exchange and digital asset infrastructure based in Singapore and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), has announced a strategic partnership with OSL Group, a digital financial infrastructure platform headquartered in Hong Kong.
The collaboration will focus on developing digital solutions for cross-border payments, enhancing the market infrastructure for tokenised real-world assets (RWAs), and strengthening regulatory-compliant innovation across the two financial centres.
Central to the partnership is the aim of building a more interconnected ecosystem for digital assets and tokenised finance.
Areas of focus include improving liquidity, enabling cross-border transactions, supporting compliant RWA trading, and reinforcing asset management and compliance frameworks.
To meet growing institutional demand for over-the-counter (OTC) digital asset trading, MetaComp and OSL plan to explore the integration of their liquidity networks.
This would seek to improve execution for clients trading in digital assets, including payment instruments, by enhancing pricing, reducing slippage, and expanding access to liquidity.
The two firms also intend to co-develop infrastructure that enables the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments between Singapore and Hong Kong.
The initiative aims to allow financial institutions and payment service providers to transfer value more quickly, cost-effectively and transparently, while remaining compliant with local regulations.
In addition, OSL and MetaComp, together with MetaComp’s parent company Alpha Ladder Finance (ALFIN), which holds a Capital Markets Services License from MAS, will assess solutions for cross-listing and trading tokenised RWAs.
The initiative seeks to create more liquid and transparent regulated markets for tokenised assets in Asia, accessible to institutional and accredited investors, using either fiat currency or stablecoins.
The partnership will also prioritise compliance and risk management.
Both companies will collaborate on strengthening anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing measures, drawing on shared KYC databases, blockchain wallet analytics, and cross-chain transaction monitoring tools.
“This partnership with OSL represents a significant milestone in our commitment to building the next generation of digital financial infrastructure,”
said Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp.
“By combining our strengths, we are not only advancing regional connectivity but also setting new benchmarks for compliance and innovation in digital asset markets.”
Eugene Cheung, Chief Commercial Officer of OSL Group, added:
“Hong Kong and Singapore are natural partners in shaping Asia’s digital finance future. Through this collaboration with MetaComp, we’re laying the groundwork for interoperable, real-world solutions that serve institutional needs and meet the highest regulatory expectations.”
