Singapore-based fintech firm MetaComp has announced it will begin distributing Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, bolstering its presence in the expanding market for institutional cross-border payments.
RLUSD, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, a Ripple subsidiary, is now available to institutional clients via MetaComp’s regulated infrastructure. The move aims to expand institutional access to stablecoin-powered settlements, with MetaComp acting as a primary dealer for RLUSD.

The stablecoin will also be integrated into StableX, MetaComp’s programmable FX and cross-border liquidity platform, which currently supports over 31 currencies. With RLUSD added to its roster, StableX is positioned to become a key infrastructure hub in Asia for fast, transparent, and cost-efficient cross-border settlements.
Eddie Hui, Co-President and COO at MetaComp, described the development as a major step toward a “resilient ecosystem where stablecoins work together to shape the future of finance.” He added that onboarding RLUSD strengthens StableX’s offering for both merchant payments and institutional settlement services.
RLUSD is already live on MetaComp’s platform, with onboarding and distribution support now available to institutional clients across the Asia-Pacific region and globally.
The partnership deepens Ripple’s push into the regulated stablecoin market as part of its broader strategy to embed tokenized assets into real-world financial use cases. For MetaComp, the RLUSD rollout adds another layer of utility to its growing suite of blockchain-based financial tools, especially in a region where demand for compliant digital payment rails continues to accelerate.
MetaComp holds a Major Payment Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and has positioned itself as a stablecoin-native infrastructure provider focused on programmable payments, FX, and tokenized assets.
Meanwhile, MetaComp has revealed that up to 25% of high-risk stablecoin transactions may escape detection due to shortcomings in current blockchain compliance systems. The digital finance firm, licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, warns that gaps in on-chain monitoring tools could leave institutions exposed to undetected financial crime.
