On October 19, 2025, social payment platform Metya announced the completion of a new round of US$6 million in strategic financing, jointly invested by Greenwood Global Capital and Echo3Labs.

This is Metya's latest round of funding, following investments from OKX Ventures, Cryptogram Ventures, and others, demonstrating the capital market's continued confidence in its AI × SocialFi × PayFi ecosystem. This round of funding will primarily be used to iterate Metya's core products, expand its global market, and build infrastructure within the AI social payment ecosystem.

Founded in 2023, Metya focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI), social finance (SocialFi), and decentralized payments (PayFi). The company is committed to building an integrated Web3 platform centered around the MePay payment ecosystem, an AI-powered social network, and a value distribution system. After multiple rounds of capital validation and product launches, Metya has established a stable ecosystem foundation. The completion of this round of strategic financing will propel the company into a new phase of global expansion and ecosystem collaboration.

"This round of financing is not only an injection of new capital, but also a recognition of the continuity of Metya's ecosystem model." - Allen Soc, Founder and CEO of Metya

"The addition of Greenwood Global Capital and Echo3Labs will help us accelerate the deep integration of AI, social networking, and payments, enabling the true free flow of value across global networks."

I. Financing Overview and Strategic Significance

This round of funding, totaling $6 million, was co-led by Greenwood Global Capital and Echo3Labs.

1. Core product and technology research and development: Accelerate the development and optimization of the MePay payment system and AI-enabled social scenarios;

2. Global Ecosystem Expansion and Market Deployment: Based on multiple hubs, improve the Global Co-Creation Network global co-construction system;

3. Ecosystem Operation and User Growth: Increase the activity of the SocialFi and PayFi modules through market incentives and community co-construction.

Metya has previously received investments from several renowned institutions, including OKX Ventures, Mario Nawfal, and Cryptogram Venture (CGV). The completion of this round of financing marks Metya's transition from product validation to a new phase of scaled ecosystem development and global collaborative expansion.

II. Project Background and Positioning

Metya was founded by team members with experience in blockchain, AI, and social products. Its core mission is to:

“Let social interactions generate measurable value and let asset circulation naturally integrate into social scenarios.”

Core products include:

• MePay payment ecosystem: Integrating multi-chain asset settlement and fiat currency channels to achieve seamless connection between Web3 assets and real-world consumption;
• AI social system: Based on AI algorithms and on-chain data, it builds a social graph, recommendation mechanism, and value incentive system.

Metya is committed to building a global platform ecosystem where "social interaction is finance and interaction is asset." Users can not only interact, create, and consume on the platform, but also circulate assets and share profits through MePay.
