Alpha Ladder Group, a Singapore-headquartered Digital Green Group, and Maqam International have established a joint venture focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation and digital payments.
Domiciled within ADGM, the venture connects MENA’s RWA base to global capital markets through regulated blockchain infrastructure and payment network, representing a step forward in Singapore-UAE digital finance cooperation.
The joint venture will see the firms apply for a licence with the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and launch initial operations in 2026.
It will target three areas of digital financial infrastructure in connecting MENA to Asia, including cross-border payment expense and fragmentation between MENA and Asia through routing payments across its partner network of traditional bank rails and stablecoin rails simultaneously.
Alpha Ladder Finance's Non-Fungible Digital Twin (NFDT) technology aims to address issues surrounding RWAs being illiquid and accessible only to large institutional players by creating a live, blockchain-anchored digital record of each asset, reflecting its condition, performance, and ownership in real time.
Additionally it connects MENA-based companies and funds to global liquidity pools through regulated digital channels.
Through the venture, Alpha Ladder and Maqam International are building institutional digital finance infrastructure to connect Abu habi's real asset base to global capital markets, powered by MetaComp, an institutionally backed payment infrastructure provider and governed by Alpha Ladder's global compliance standards.
Dr Bo Bai, group executive chairman and co-founder, Alpha Ladder Group, remarks: “Together, we are deploying compliant infrastructure that connects Abu Dhabi's real asset base to global capital markets — at the standard both parties have built their reputations on.
“Our commitment to the UAE is firm and while the region faces real pressures, we are deepening our presence here because we believe in the UAE's institutional resilience and in the strength of what we are building together.”
H.E. Jamal Abdulla Mohammad Bin Abdulwahab Alsuwaidi, UAE Ambassador to Singapore, adds: "The UAE strongly believes in the mutual benefits driven by forward-looking Singapore-UAE partnerships like this Alpha Ladder-Maqam International Holding collaboration.”
