MetaComp Announces Strategic Partnership with Harvest Global Investments to Explore Bringing HK-Listed ETFs to Investors in Singapore and Beyond
SINGAPORE, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MetaComp Pte Ltd, a leading Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) licensed Singapore fintech company that specializes in blockchain technology and digital assets, and its affiliates (collectively referred as MetaComp), is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Harvest Global Investments Limited (HGI), a leading asset management company licensed with the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. HGI is among the pioneering Chinese asset management firms to establish subsidiaries abroad. The Memorandum of Understanding executed between MetaComp and HGI marks a significant step towards potentially broadening the accessibility of innovative financial products globally with special emphasis on the recently announced cryptocurrency spot ETFs which will be expected to start trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange from 30 April 2024 onwards. This follows the announcement by HGI that they have received authorization from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission to launch the highly anticipated cryptocurrency ETFs.
The core of the partnership revolves around MetaComp and its affiliates’ commitment to make HGI’s cryptocurrency spot ETFs available, through MetaComp’s proprietary Client Assets Management Platform, also known as CAMP by MetaComp, utilizing its technological and market expertise to introduce these products under the appropriate regulatory framework to Singapore investors and beyond. This initiative not only aims to expand the global footprint of HGI’s ETFs but also allows MetaComp and its affiliate to enrich its wealth solution portfolio with highly sought-after financial products.
In addition to the crypto-ETF distribution, the collaboration will also explore opportunities for the integration of HGI’s various asset management solutions into MetaComp’s service offerings. MetaComp will also provide HGI access to its Digital Payment Token suite of services. Through the strategic collaborative efforts by both companies, they are hoping to forge a symbiotic relationship that will allow both companies to leverage on their strengths.
The alignment with HGI allows MetaComp to tap into the scale and expertise of a leading global financial player, significantly enhancing its service capabilities and market reach. This partnership is designed to serve not just the existing clientele of both entities but also to capture new segments eager for advanced financial solutions across traditional finance and crypto finance.

A New York judge will soon address complex regulatory issues in the case involving Richard Heart, founder of the crypto token Hex. The SEC has accused Heart of selling unregistered securities and misusing investor funds to purchase luxury items, such as a $1.38 million Rolex and a 555-carat black diamond called “The Enigma.” Heart, based in Finland, is seeking dismissal of the SEC’s case, arguing that the SEC has overreached in its attempt to regulate global blockchain technology.
The case highlights the challenges of enforcing US securities laws on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and borderless crypto transactions. Heart and his supporters argue that technological innovations like Hex and the PulseChain blockchain cannot be defendants in such cases. This dispute underscores the evolving nature of blockchain technology and the difficulty regulators face in applying traditional legal concepts to these new digital assets.
The SEC has broadened its scrutiny of DeFi, with investigations and enforcement actions against various firms. However, the SEC’s approach of naming software and blockchain protocols as defendants raises concerns about developer liability and potential overreach. The outcome of this case could set significant precedents for how the US regulates the crypto industry.
Legal experts note that the SEC’s strategy might lead to developers being held accountable for the software they create, which could discourage innovation in the blockchain space. The case also raises jurisdictional questions, as Heart argues that US courts should not have authority over his actions, given his lack of direct ties to the US.
The resolution of this case could have broad implications for the regulation of decentralized and international crypto projects, as it tests the SEC’s ability to police a rapidly evolving and inherently global technology.
