Singapore – September 16, 2026 -- Alpha Ladder Finance Pte. Ltd. has launched access to Payward's xStocks tokenised equities for institutional and accredited investors through its Alpha Ladder WealthX platform, becoming one of the first licensed wealth management firms in Asia to offer such access.
Alpha Ladder becomes a regional distribution partner for xStocks under a new MOU
The launch follows a Memorandum of Understanding between Alpha Ladder, MetaComp and Payward to advance tokenised capital markets across APAC. Under the arrangement, Alpha Ladder will distribute xStocks to institutional and accredited investors in selected regional markets, subject to eligibility, onboarding and compliance requirements.
xStocks tokens have processed over $40 billion in combined transaction volume
xStocks brings publicly listed equities onto blockchain infrastructure through fully collateralised, 1:1-backed tokens. According to Dune Analytics data, the platform lists more than 700 assets, has processed over US$40 billion in combined transaction volume, and counts more than 200,000 unique holders globally.
On-chain real-world asset value nearly quadrupled to $19.3 billion by March 2026
The launch coincides with rising institutional traction for tokenised securities. On-chain RWA value reached approximately US$19.3 billion by end-March 2026, up from approximately US$5.4 billion in January 2025, according to CoinGecko data. A 2026 EY and Coinbase Institutional Investor Survey found 63% of institutional investors globally were very interested in tokenised assets, up from 57% a year earlier. McKinsey estimates total tokenised market capitalisation, excluding cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, could reach approximately US$2 trillion by 2030.
Alpha Ladder, MetaComp and Payward plan further tokenisation products across APAC
Alpha Ladder holds a Capital Markets Services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. MetaComp operates as a Major Payment Institution under MAS, providing payment and stablecoin conversion services connected to xStocks access, while all securities and capital markets services relating to xStocks are offered solely by Alpha Ladder. The three parties said they will continue exploring additional tokenisation products, counterparties and use cases in the region.
