Across Asia’s digital financial landscape, Singapore and Hong Kong have long been regarded as parallel global financial centers distinguished by their robust regulatory frameworks and connectivity. Now, as Asia’s two leading stablecoin OTC providers, MetaComp and OSL are integrating the regulatory advantages, deep liquidity, and global reach of both cities. Their strategic alliance creates a faster, more secure, and more transparent “express lane” for cross-border stablecoin settlements and the tokenization of real-world assets.

Singapore’s Regulatory Foundation × Hong Kong’s Market Depth

Licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), MetaComp provides cross-border FX and digital asset infrastructure and is committed to a compliance-first approach adhering to institutional standards: building a visible, end-to-end regulatory foundation across payments, stablecoin settlement, asset custody, and liquidity management.

OSL, with years of experience in Hong Kong, has strengthened its licensing, compliance, and institutional-grade digital finance infrastructure to serve a global audience.

This partnership goes beyond simple integration: both parties are launching the “Singapore–Hong Kong Connected Centre (SG–HK Connected Centre),” a dual-engine initiative that facilitates efficient, controlled cross-border capital flows within a unified compliance framework.

Stablecoins: The New Engine for Cross-Border Value Movement

Stablecoins are shifting from being “cutting-edge technology” to essential “financial infrastructure.” MetaComp’s proprietary StableX platform is engineered for cross-border FX and liquidity routing:

· Leveraging USD and regulated stablecoins as key settlement media to increase the speed and efficiency of cross-border transactions;

· Utilizing smart routing to dynamically optimize for speed, cost, and settlement finality;

· Acting as the FX layer for CAMP (Client Asset Management Platform), bridging traditional finance and digital assets using programmable connections.

Through integration with OSL’s infrastructure, payment and financial institutions between Singapore and Hong Kong can settle stablecoin transactions with greater convenience, improved pricing, lower slippage, and deeper institutional liquidity.

From Payments to Capital Markets: A Compliant Pathway for RWA Tokenization

This collaboration extends beyond payments. As tokenization rapidly advances in capital markets, MetaComp—together with parent company Alpha Ladder Finance (ALFin), which holds MAS Capital Markets Services (CMS) and Recognized Market Operator (RMO) licenses—and OSL, are exploring:

· Cross-market listing and compliant trading of Real World Assets (RWA);

· Multi-channel fiat and stablecoin settlements for institutions and qualified investors;

· Boosting tokenized asset liquidity and accessibility through transparent, regulator-auditable mechanisms.

This means that, anchored in Singapore and Hong Kong, this evolving market infrastructure for tokenized assets establishes a replicable and scalable benchmark for Asia.

Compliance and Risk Management: Trust by Design

For digital finance to become truly institutional-grade, compliance and risk management must be embedded at its core. MetaComp and OSL are deepening collaboration on KYC databases, on-chain wallet analytics, and cross-chain tracking, continuously enhancing AML/CFT frameworks to make “trust” a measurable and verifiable standard. This is essential not just for clients, but for the integrity of the entire ecosystem.

Leadership Insights

Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp, remarked:

“This collaboration with OSL brings together Asia’s two leading institutional stablecoin OTC platforms—Singapore’s MetaComp and Hong Kong’s OSL—to build an interconnected Asian stablecoin hub, driving compliant and efficient cross-border stablecoin flows.”

Eugene Cheung, Chief Commercial Officer of OSL Group, stated:

“Hong Kong and Singapore complement each other naturally in shaping Asia’s digital finance future. Through our partnership with MetaComp, we are laying the foundation for real-world, interoperable use cases—meeting institutional demands and setting the standard for compliance.”

Asia as a Launchpad, the World as the Horizon

The “Singapore–Hong Kong Connected Centre” is not just a link between two cities, but a dual-hub gateway connecting to the world. Their head start in regulatory design and cooperation positions this initiative as the core platform for the scaling of stablecoin settlement and asset tokenization across Asia.

On this value chain—driven by compliance, liquidity, and innovation—MetaComp provides Singapore’s regulatory strength and the technical prowess of StableX. OSL provides Hong Kong’s institutional network and infrastructure. Both serve as global, institutional-grade leaders advancing Asian digital finance from mere “connection” to true “integration.”
