The partnership aims to deliver scalable, interoperable stablecoin infrastructure for real-world payments and digital assets.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MetaComp, a regulated cross-border FX and digital asset infrastructure provider licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, announces a strategic partnership with USDT0, the unified liquidity network for the world’s most widely used stablecoin Tether (USDT), and XAUt0, the omnichain evolution of Tether Gold, built to bring the largest gold-backed digital token to the world’s leading blockchains, creating programmable, cross-chain stablecoin infrastructure for global payment corridors and institutional finance.

Through this collaboration, MetaComp and its parent company will integrate USDT0, and XAUt0, a gold-backed stablecoin representing ownership of physical gold, into its regulated financial infrastructure. This integration supports real-time, cross-chain, and cross-border settlements, unlocking new efficiencies across payment corridors in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and South America.

Built on LayerZero, USDT0 will serve as a core settlement asset for cross-border payments. Its integration into MetaComp’s platforms is designed to enhance blockchain interoperability, lower settlement costs, and deliver faster, more seamless transactions for businesses operating in multi-jurisdictional markets. XAUt0 brings the scarcity and inflation-hedging strength of physical gold into a modern, multi-chain environment, and is engineered to serve as a programmable, anti-inflation asset. The partnership will enable users to convert between USDT0 and XAUt0 in real time across supported chains, empowering payment providers and asset managers to preserve value while maintaining transactional flexibility.

To ensure regulatory-grade compliance, MetaComp and USDT0 will work together to establish a robust on-chain AML/CFT framework. This will include the integration of wallet screening tools, cross-chain tracing capabilities, and real-time monitoring services powered by third-party databases and MetaComp’s proprietary Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) infrastructure.

As part of the rollout, USDT0 and XAUt0 will be listed on MetaComp’s Client Asset Management Platform (CAMP), providing institutional and enterprise users with seamless access and trading capabilities. In addition, both stablecoins will be incorporated into StableX, MetaComp’s programmable FX infrastructure, to support high-frequency transactions across multiple currencies and chains.

“Our partnership with USDT0 reinforces MetaComp’s mission to deliver compliant, programmable financial infrastructure that leverages on blockchain to deliver instant cross-border settlements for real-world payments”, said Eddie Hui, Co-President and Chief Operating Officer of MetaComp. “By supporting USDT0 and XAUt0, we are enabling faster, more resilient, and globally interoperable payment flows that meet the needs of real-world users.”

“At USDT0, we are committed to building stablecoin solutions that go beyond digital speculation. Solutions that serve real economic needs,” said Lorenzo R, Co-founder of USDT0 and Everdawn Labs “Partnering with MetaComp allows us to bring USDT0 and XAUt0 into a regulated, interoperable environment where they can support real-time, inflation-resilient finance across borders and blockchains. MetaComp’s programmable FX and compliance-by-design architecture make them the ideal partner to support cross-chain stablecoin adoption at scale. This is a meaningful step toward a more inclusive and efficient global payment system.”

This collaboration marks a significant step toward a new era of stablecoin-powered financial infrastructure – one that combines real-time settlement, on-chain compliance, and cross-chain asset management within a unified, regulated ecosystem.
