Dear Sir or Madam

 

Metalpha Technology Holding Limited (the Company)

 

We have acted as counsel as to Cayman Islands law to the Company in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-3, including all amendments or supplements thereto (the Registration Statement), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) pursuant to the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the Securities Act), relating to the offer and resale from time to time of up to 15,453,364 shares in the capital of the Company of par value US$0.0001 each (the Ordinary Shares) , which consist of (i) 3,908,700 Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to those certain Subscription Agreements dated as of 30 October 2025 (the Subscription Agreements) by and between the Company and investors party thereto, (ii) 6,924,664 Ordinary Shares previously issued to certain holders pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans, cashless exercises of warrants, management entry options and other prior issuances, as further described herein, and (iii) 4,620,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants previously issued by the Company to certain holders (the Warrants), as further described herein.

 

We are furnishing this opinion and consent as Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1 to the Registration Statement.

 

We based our opinion on the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the Companies Act) currently in force. For the purpose of this opinion, we have examined the documents listed in Schedule 1.

 

We have relied on the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

 

Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, we give the following opinions under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

 

1.The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited liability, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

 

 

 

2.The issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares (including the issue of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the Warrant Document (as defined in Schedule 1)) and the Warrant pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorised. When allotted, issued and fully paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, Warrants and the Memorandum and Articles (as defined in Schedule 1) and when appropriate entries have been made in the register of members of the Company, the Ordinary Shares (including the issue of Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with the Warrant Document) will be validly issued and allotted, fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act, or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

This opinion is strictly limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the documents listed in Schedule 1, and express no opinion or observation upon the terms of any such document.

 

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

 

Yours faithfully

4.No matters under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) would or might affect the opinions set out above. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of such laws.

Schedule 3

 

Qualifications

 

1.To maintain the Company in good standing with the Registrar under the laws of the Cayman Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar within the timeframe prescribed by the Companies Act.

 

2.Under the Companies Act, the register of members of a Cayman Islands company is by statute regarded as prima facie evidence of any matters which the Companies Act directs or authorises to be inserted therein. A third-party interest in the shares in question would not appear. An entry in the register of members may yield to a court order for rectification (for example, in the event of fraud or manifest error). As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and for the purposes of the opinion, there are no circumstances or matters of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Ordinary Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re- examination by a Cayman Islands court.

 

3.In this opinion the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the issuance of shares that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares, have any obligation to make further contribution to the Company’s assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance, in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

 

4.A restrictions notice may be issued by the corporate services provider of the Company in the event of the Company’s failure to disclose beneficial ownership information as required by the Companies Act. Upon issuance of such notice, in respect of the interests affected and amongst others, any transfer or agreement to transfer such interest may be void and the rights attached thereto may not be exercisable.

 

5.We express no opinion as to the meaning, validity or effect of any references to foreign (i.e. non-Cayman Islands) statutes, rules, regulations, codes, judicial authority or any other promulgations and any references to them in the Registration Statement.

 

6.We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Registration Statement and Warrants or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to the warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.

 

7.We have not made any enquiry and express no opinion as to the compliance of the Company with the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as amended).

 

8.We express no opinion on and our opinions are subject to the effect, if any, of any provisions of any document that relies upon numerical computation.

 

9.We express no opinion on the enforceability and due authorisation of the Documents.
