Alpha Ladder Group, a Singapore-headquartered Digital Green Group, and Maqam International Holding, an Abu Dhabi-based company, have announced a joint venture focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation and digital payments across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The joint venture will be domiciled within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the United Arab Emirates' premier international financial center. This partnership aims to address the slow, costly, and fragmented cross-border payments between MENA and Asia, leveraging MetaComp's StableX Network and Alpha Ladder Finance's patented Non-Fungible Digital Twin (NFDT) technology for RWA tokenisation. The MENA digital payments market is projected to reach USD 420 billion by 2030, and GCC RWA tokenisation represents a nearly USD 500 billion opportunity by 2030. The collaboration is seen as a landmark in Singapore-UAE digital finance cooperation, connecting Abu Dhabi's real asset base to global capital markets through regulated blockchain infrastructure and payment networks.
