MetaComp has recently unveiled its Web2.5 VisionX Engine and AgentX, as well as initiatives aimed at establishing a Know Your Agent (KYA) standard for payments and wealth management services. These innovations add a crucial layer of compliance to the StableX Network, which MetaComp utilizes for cross-border transactions, treasury functions, and wealth management efforts involving both fiat and stablecoin currencies.
At the heart of this rollout is the Web2.5 VisionX Engine, which enhances the StableX Network’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) protocols. By analyzing risk across three key areas—identity, behavior, and network exposure—the system leverages data from both traditional finance and digital asset transactions.
This solution addresses a significant gap in cross-border finance: banks and payment processors often possess limited visibility into transaction flows despite having customer identity information. In contrast, blockchains offer transparent transaction histories, yet often lack clarity regarding the individuals or entities behind those transactions.
The VisionX Engine conducts checks across more than four blockchain analytics providers at once, merging the outcomes with MetaComp’s proprietary algorithm. Testing has shown that this approach reduces the false clean rate to 0.24% or less, a remarkable improvement compared to the 24.55% rate observed when relying on a single provider.
These statistics build on a comprehensive analysis of over 7,000 transactions completed last year. Following this analysis, MetaComp recommends that institutions engage at least three Know Your Transaction (KYT) compliance providers for each transaction.
AI Layer
The second innovation, AgentX, is specially designed for financial institutions and payment service providers that are beginning to implement artificial intelligence agents for tasks such as initiating payments, managing treasury functions, and conducting compliance checks. This product bundles regulated financial services as downloadable tools, starting with an Agentic KYT module focused on AML screening.
The initial rollout targets Claude, with plans for further support for other AI models to follow. The goal is to enable AI systems to utilize financial tools within a structured framework that ensures governance and auditability.
Along with this introduction, MetaComp is also formulating the KYA, or Know Your Agent, as a governance framework for agent-driven financial activities. This framework is aligned with the Infocomm Media Development Authority’s Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI and is aimed at enhancing practices in payments and wealth services.
KYA aims to establish standards for onboarding agents and facilitating agent-to-agent communication in financial services, while also addressing supervision of multi-agent activities. The model is designed to oversee scenarios where AI agents autonomously make financial decisions.
“The StableX Network has always prioritized compliance for Web2.5 payments and wealth. Transactions are processed through VisionX before they are settled. The Web2.5 VisionX Engine, along with our initial AI-native VisionX Skill, strengthens that foundational principle. Equally importantly is the introduction of KYA. As AI agents start executing financial transactions autonomously, institutions must be aware not only of whether the transaction is clean but also whether the agent initiating it is authorized to comply with the established regulatory framework. We are committed to building that governance framework for payments and wealth as we ensure technology is used responsibly,” stated Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp.
Hybrid Risk
Summer Yu, Group Chief Compliance Officer at Alpha Ladder Group, emphasized that the product is designed to oversee risks arising during the transfers between banking systems and blockchain networks.
“Systemic risk in hybrid finance has traditionally arisen at the junction of conventional banking and blockchain. For years, this vulnerability went unmonitored because no single tool could simultaneously scrutinize both sides. The Web2.5 VisionX Engine effectively bridges this gap by addressing identity, behavior, and network risks. Our process of parallel screening across multiple independent blockchain analytics providers—with results synthesized through our internal algorithm—serves all three dimensions, cutting false clean rates from up to 25% down to nearly zero. For institutions transferring capital across borders, this difference transforms compliance from a hindrance into a source of intelligence,” Yu remarked.
The latest product launches come on the heels of MetaComp’s successful fundraising efforts, having raised a total of USD 35 million across two Pre-A funding rounds within three months. Notable investors include Alibaba, Spark Ventures, Eastern Bell Capital, Noah, Sky9 Capital, Freshwave Fund, and Beingboom Capital.
This new funding will facilitate the expansion of products within the StableX Network and enhance regulated payment pathways across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
MetaComp currently serves over 1,000 institutional and accredited clients. In 2025, the company processed more than USD 10 billion in payments and over-the-counter transactions across 13 stablecoins, reporting a monthly run rate exceeding USD 1 billion.
Licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore as a Major Payment Institution, MetaComp offers services for digital payment tokens and cross-border money transfers. Treasury and investment offerings are provided via its affiliate, Alpha Ladder Finance, which holds Capital Markets Services and Recognised Market Operator licenses in Singapore.
The organization also announced that assets managed by its wealth division exceed USD 500 million, achieving full-year net profitability in 2025.
