Under the agreement, Alpha Ladder — MetaComp’s affiliate licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to conduct regulated activities under a Capital Markets Services (CMS) licence and approved as a Recognised Market Operator (RMO),will act as a structuring and distribution partner for Payward in connection with the xStocks offering across permitted APAC markets, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals, satisfying applicable licensing requirements and finalising commercial requirements.

Eddie Hui, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer, MetaComp, Tracy Xu, Business Development Manager, MetaComp, Constance Chen, Head of APAC Growth, Payward, Dr Bo Bai, CEO and Executive Chairman, MetaComp Dr. Bo Bai, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Alpha Ladder Group, said:“We are excited to be working with Payward to open a new venue for institutional liquidity. By accepting tokenised equities as eligible collateral, we are extending the capital efficiency of equity ownership beyond market hours, giving clients in APAC a financing solution that moves at the speed of digital assets. This moves tokenised markets from being theoretically accessible to practically usable for regulated institutions.” “This agreement is a meaningful step toward turning capital markets into something truly global and accessible by default,” said Val Gui, General Manager of xStocks. “Tokenisation removes the structural barriers that have historically limited who can access and participate in the world’s most valuable assets. Our vision is simple: any investor, anywhere, should be able to access global equities as easily as they access the internet.” Together, the parties will focus on enabling institutional and, over time, broader market participants to gain access to global capital markets through blockchain-based infrastructure. This includes giving institutional clients in APAC access to tokenised equity offerings through xStocks, including shares in high-profile listed companies. This MOU represents a key step toward building more mature, interoperable capital markets infrastructure in Asia, combining regulatory rigour, institutional distribution and product innovation under a single strategic framework. In the coming months, MetaComp, Alpha Ladder and Payward will explore possible tokenisation-related opportunities and assess counterparties and use cases for tokenisation across APAC, leveraging their combined networks and capital markets expertise to build a pipeline of participants entering the tokenised securities market.

English Simplified Chinese 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

SINGAPORE, [May 14, 2026] — Alpha Ladder Finance Pte. Ltd. (“Alpha Ladder”), the Capital Markets Services-licensed affiliate of MetaComp, today announced a distribution partnership with Franklin Templeton to offer the Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund to institutional and accredited clients. The fund will be accessible through MetaComp’s Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP), making it available alongside the group-level platform’s existing suite of cross-border payment and treasury management capabilities.¹ The Franklin OnChain U.S. Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund is a tokenised money market fund created on Franklin Templeton’s proprietary Benji platform, and managed by Templeton Asset Management Ltd. The fund invests at least 90% of its total assets in Government securities, cash, and collateralised repurchase agreements, with annual operating expenses capped at 0.20%. Shareholder transaction records are maintained on the Stellar public blockchain, with support across eight networks including Polygon, Ethereum, and Solana Bringing Tokenised Institutional Finance into the Web2.5 Era The partnership reflects the broader shift in institutional treasury management toward on-chain yield instruments. Global analysts have projected tokenised assets could reach US$4 to 5 trillion by 2030, with money market funds among the earliest and highest-conviction institutional use cases — a trajectory underscored by the rapid adoption of tokenised fund products across leading global asset managers. For MetaComp’s institutional client base — more than 1,000 accredited and institutional clients across major financial hubs globally — the fund may provide eligible investors with access to a regulated tokenised money market fund through Alpha Ladder Finance’s distribution framework, subject to onboarding, suitability, eligibility, risk disclosures and the relevant offering documents. Today’s distribution agreement marks the beginning of a longer-term working relationship between Franklin Templeton and Alpha Ladder, one of the largest subscribers and distributors of the fund. The two firms intend to explore further collaboration across Franklin Templeton’s broader product range, including its traditional fund offerings, as institutional demand for regulated on-chain and hybrid investment solutions continues to develop across the region. Dr. Bo Bai, Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of Alpha Ladder Group, said: “The institutionalisation of tokenised finance is no longer a thesis — it is happening now. When a firm with Franklin Templeton’s scale and track record builds a regulated, on-chain money market fund, it signals a fundamental shift in how institutional capital approaches yield. Alpha Ladder Finance’s ability to distribute this fund through MetaComp’s CAMP platform is a direct expression of what we have been building toward: a group-level platform where payments, treasury, and institutional wealth products operate as one. Our clients should not have to choose between the efficiency of blockchain and the credibility of regulated finance — this partnership delivers both.” Tin Pei Ling, Co-President of MetaComp, said: “Institutional clients holding USD liquidity have long faced a challenge: idle capital sitting in low-yield accounts while settlement cycles play out. We can change this. Through our platform, the same clients using StableX Network for cross-border payments can now allocate idle USD holdings into a Government-securities-backed, blockchain-recorded money market fund and redeem when their next
