SINGAPORE, [May 21, 2026] — MetaComp Group, Asia’s pioneer in unified Web2.5 digital financial solutions bridging fiat and digital asset capabilities across payments and treasury management, today announced a strategic partnership with Matrixdock, the leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation platform in Asia under the BIT Group (formerly Matrixport). Through this partnership, MetaComp is onboarding Matrixdock Gold (XAUm) and Matrixdock Silver (XAGm) onto its platform, extending its institutional-grade product suite to encompass physically-backed tokenised precious metals for OTC trading and collateralised lending.
Trading in XAUm and XAGm is provided by MetaComp Pte. Ltd. (MetaComp), licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) as a Major Payment Institution for Digital Payment Token services. The XAUm/XAGm-collateralised lending facility is operated by MetaComp Cayman Limited, a qualified affiliate within MetaComp Group, and is subject to applicable regulatory requirements in its operating jurisdiction.
Each XAUm token is backed 1:1 by physical gold bars stored in vaults operated by LBMA-accredited custodians Brink’s and Malca-Amit in Hong Kong and Singapore, with token-to-bar allocation and independent verification. Each XAGm token is backed by LBMA Good Delivery physical silver under Matrixdock’s Fungible Reserve Standard (FRS), a programmable framework designed to transparently align on-chain supply with the real-world economics of the underlying asset.
Both products undergo semi-annual bar-level physical audits conducted by Bureau Veritas. Matrixdock executed its first XAUm physical redemption — burning tokens and delivering physical gold — in April 2025, demonstrating full lifecycle functionality from mint to physical settlement.¹
A Strategic Partnership Bridging Issuers and Institutional Investors
This collaboration brings together Matrixdock’s documented expertise in institutional RWA tokenisation — including its role as core tokenisation technology partner for TER, the sovereign gold-backed token issued by Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) under the Kingdom of Bhutan’s sovereign framework, which launched on Solana in December 2025 — and MetaComp Group’s regulated Web2.5 financial platform* and institutional network of more than 1,000 accredited and institutional clients.
The partnership creates a clear pathway for family offices, asset managers, corporate treasuries, and professional investors across Asia to access tokenised precious metals within a compliant, unified platform.
Market Context: Tokenised Precious Metals at Institutional Scale
Total global gold demand exceeded 5,000 tonnes in 2025 for the first time on record, with investment demand reaching 2,175 tonnes and central bank purchases sustained at 863 tonnes, per the World Gold Council.² APAC accounted for approximately two-thirds of global demand for gold bars and coins in 2024, with Singapore investor demand rising 48% in 2025 to a record 9.6 tonnes.³ Gold reached record highs above US$5,000 per ounce in early 2026, driven by central bank accumulation, geopolitical risk premiums, and persistent inflation expectations.⁴ According to the UBS Global Family Office Report 2025, almost one-fifth of family offices globally hold precious metals, with 21% anticipating a significant or moderate increase in precious metal allocations over the next five years.⁵
Gold has served as the institutional hedge of last resort across millennia. Silver, driven by both investment demand and industrial consumption, plays a structurally complementary role. XAUm and XAGm bring this asset class into the digital age: physically backed, verifiable on-chain, and accessible around the clock through MetaComp’s OTC desk with T+0 settlements on optimised corridors.
For MetaComp’s institutional clients, physical redemption of XAUm and XAGm is available in both Singapore and Hong Kong through LBMA-accredited custodians Brink’s and Malca-Amit — two of the world’s primary bullion logistics providers with vaulting infrastructure across both cities.
Together, gold and silver form a more complete and functionally resilient foundation for institutional precious metals allocation — now available in digital form through a single platform, with physical delivery available in the two most important bullion hubs in Asia.
Collateralised Lending: Precious Metals as Productive Capital
Clients holding XAUm or XAGm can pledge their tokens as collateral to access USD, USDT, or USDC liquidity at institutional terms. Rather than liquidating precious metals positions to meet short-term capital requirements, institutions can borrow directly against XAUm and XAGm holdings, preserving upside exposure while deploying working capital.
XAUm and XAGm held on MetaComp Group’s platform* can simultaneously serve as commodity-backed digital assets and sources of working capital liquidity — all within an institutional control framework designed to support compliance with applicable legal, regulatory, and risk requirements.
Dr. Bo Bai, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Alpha Ladder Group, said:
“Our partnership with Matrixdock and the BIT Group represents a natural extension of MetaComp Group’s strategy to systematically bring every major asset class into a single, compliant Web2.5 architecture. With XAUm and XAGm, we are deepening our institutional precious metals offering to include both gold and silver, backed by physical bullion that is both credibly verified and held, and accessible across OTC trading and collateralised lending. This new asset class is accessible to our clients without friction, and within our established compliance framework.”
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock, said:
“Physical precious metals are supply-limited, directly held and free from issuer liability. XAUm and XAGm preserve those qualities while adding on-chain verifiability, 24/7 accessibility, and liquidity. That combination of physical integrity and digital utility is what defines a reserve layer asset. MetaComp’s institutional network and regulated platform make them the ideal partner to bring our tokenised products to investors across Asia, and a reflection of what Matrixdock is building: the reserve layer for on-chain finance.”
Already operating at institutional scale, MetaComp processed over US$10 billion in payment and OTC volume across 13+ stablecoins in 2025 at a monthly run rate exceeding US$1 billion, while Alpha Ladder Finance’s wealth AUM surpassed US$500 million.
