Abu Dhabi, UAE | December 2025
Metra Group today signed an investment agreement with His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Tahmon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi. This signing marks the formal establishment of a partnership between the two companies in the field of digital financial infrastructure and its wide range of applications, and opens a new and important chapter for Metra Group's global development and long-term strategic planning.
When Gold Meets Blockchain
Metra Group is an international conglomerate dedicated to building a new generation of digital financial infrastructure with broad real-world applications, and promoting deep integration between the traditional financial system and decentralized digital finance.
In its development path, Metra Group has chosen a differentiated direction with long-term value anchoring significance—anchoring its entire digital financial ecosystem to gold. As the oldest and most widely accepted store of value in human history, gold provides a foundation of stability and trust for the digital financial system.
Based on this concept, Metra Group has built a product system centered on gold-backed digital assets (gold asset tokens), combining the real value of physical gold with the transparency and efficiency of blockchain technology. The aim is to provide global users with compliant, trustworthy, and sustainable digital asset solutions. Building on this foundation, the Group's business now covers several key areas, including digital asset trading, cross-border payment settlement, digital wealth management, and computing infrastructure.
The Middle East: A New Frontier for the Global Digital Economy
The choice of Abu Dhabi as the location for this signing reflects Metra Group's profound understanding and forward-looking strategy regarding the global digital economy landscape.
As the political and financial center of the UAE, Abu Dhabi is rapidly emerging as a key hub for global digital asset regulation and innovation. The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) has become one of the most internationally influential financial centers in the Middle East, continuously attracting leading global fintech companies, digital asset institutions, and international capital.
For Metra Group, the formal signing of the cooperation and investment agreement with Abu Dhabi not only reflects the high degree of alignment between the Group's development strategy and the UAE's national policies and core development direction, but also marks Metra Group's formal and deep integration into the Gulf region's digital economy ecosystem, becoming an important participant in the construction of regional digital financial infrastructure.
The $50 million investment demonstrates long-term confidence.
According to the cooperation framework and investment arrangements already signed by both parties, the total investment in this round is US$50 million. This investment fully demonstrates the investors' high recognition and firm confidence in Metra Group's business model, core technological capabilities, and long-term development strategy.
From Abu Dhabi to Nasdaq
Notably, Metra Group, along with its digital asset exchange and gold coin-related businesses, is steadily advancing its Nasdaq listing preparations. According to current plans, the group expects to complete the listing process in the first quarter of 2026 and officially enter the international capital market as "Metra Inc."
The formal signing of this strategic cooperation and investment agreement further solidifies Metra Group's long-term development foundation in the global capital market and provides important and solid strategic support for its standardized and international listing process.
Future-oriented partnerships
The formal signing of a cooperation and investment agreement between Abu Dhabi and Metra Group, along with the establishment of clear investment arrangements, marks a new stage in their collaboration, moving from initial communication and intent to institutionalization, implementation, and long-term development. This agreement lays a clear and solid strategic foundation for Metra Group's continued development in the global digital economy and crypto-finance sector.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing evolution of the global crypto industry, Abu Dhabi is gradually becoming a major hub for global digital assets and crypto finance. With leading international institutions such as Binance and Circle establishing regional or global operations centers, Abu Dhabi is continuously upgrading from a regional financial center to a key hub connecting global capital, technology, and institutional innovation.
Against this backdrop, the formal implementation of this cooperation and investment agreement signifies the systematic integration and synergy of the UAE's institutional advantages, capital resources, and industrial capabilities within the core ecosystem built by Metra Group. Through this ecosystem architecture, Metra Group will drive the gradual formation of a global ecosystem centered on connecting Web2 and Web3, opening up key channels between traditional finance, real-world industries, and decentralized technologies, and providing the global market with a compliant, clear, and sustainable development path.
The construction of this ecosystem not only helps to promote the orderly migration of real-world assets, user systems, and business applications to the Web3 domain, but also reflects Metra Group's responsibility and mission for the long-term and stable development of the industry, providing more transparent, credible, and sustainable infrastructure support for the global digital financial system.
Looking ahead, Metra Group will leverage Abu Dhabi as a key strategic foothold to deepen comprehensive ecosystem-level cooperation with all parties in areas such as the digital economy and fintech. It will steadily advance the implementation of investment arrangements and cooperation plans, achieving a long-term balance between compliance, governance, and innovation, and contributing to the healthy development of the regional and even global digital economy ecosystem.
All relevant cooperation arrangements and specific terms shall be subject to the formally signed agreement between the parties and shall be strictly implemented in accordance with the laws, regulations and regulatory compliance requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.
