The agreement, formalized through a Memorandum of Strategic Cooperation, marks a major step in integrating stablecoins into real-world financial systems.

Driving Stablecoin adoption in global finance
Through this integration, MetaComp aims to provide institutional-grade access to stablecoin-based payment infrastructure across key regions — including Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and South America. The platform will enable seamless conversion between FDUSD and non-USD fiat currencies, addressing growing demand for efficient and secure cross-border settlements.
The collaboration also strengthens compliance measures with MetaComp’s VisionX Engine, which combines on-chain and off-chain analysis tools for KYC (Know Your Customer) and KYT (Know Your Transaction) monitoring. This ensures adherence to global AML (Anti-Money Laundering) and CTF (Counter-Terrorism Financing) standards while enhancing transaction transparency.
Enhancing real-world utility of Stablecoins
According to MetaComp Co-President Tin Pei Ling, the partnership “unleashes the potential of stablecoins in the real economy,” enabling faster and more affordable value transfers while maintaining regulatory integrity. Vincent Chok, CEO of First Digital, added that the collaboration aims to “build an inclusive bridge between traditional finance and decentralized economies.”
The rollout of FDUSD on StableX will begin across Southeast Asia and Africa, with expansion to additional markets planned in subsequent phases. Both companies reaffirmed their commitment to compliance-first innovation and scalable digital asset infrastructure to power the next phase of blockchain-enabled finance.
In conjunction with the partnership, MetaComp also published a whitepaper titled “Cross-Border Payments for SMEs: Voices in ASEAN and the Rise of Stablecoins.” The report highlights persistent inefficiencies in global payment systems, warning that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which drive a majority of ASEAN trade remain excluded from fast, low-cost cross-border payment networks.
