VANTIS Metal Exchange

We facilitate market-making, liquidity, and secured trading environments for industrial metals to support regional manufacturing and infrastructure demand.

From Fragmentation to Institutional-Grade Execution

The Regional Context

Vietnam's Mercantile Exchange (MXV) has established linkages with Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia—marking a structural shift toward ASEAN commodity market integration. Yet industrial metals—copper, aluminum, steel—remain underserved relative to agricultural products. We position VANTIS at this intersection: our capacity is to structure trading environments that improve price discovery, liquidity, and counterparty security for industrial metals. We do not operate an exchange; we design and facilitate the protocols, frameworks, and stakeholder alignment that enable institutional-grade participation. Our integration model bridges physical market participants, financiers, and regulatory authorities—engineering the operational infrastructure that makes industrial metal markets bankable and transparent.

Market Execution Context

Vietnam's commodity market integration meets liquidity and counterparty friction. We bridge these gaps for industrial metals.

Market Reality

Industrial Metals Demand & ASEAN Integration

Vietnam's manufacturing and infrastructure build-out drives sustained demand for industrial metals—copper, aluminum, steel—while MXV (Mercantile Exchange of Vietnam) has strengthened linkages with SGX, BMD, and Indonesia's ACM. Regional commodity markets are converging, yet domestic price discovery and liquidity remain fragmented for certain industrial products.

The Hurdle

Liquidity & Transparency Gaps

Physical metal traders and manufacturers face opaque pricing, limited counterparty options, and settlement risk. Institutional capital seeking exposure to Vietnam's commodity sector encounters barriers to efficient entry and exit. Price discovery for industrial metals lags behind agricultural commodities on MXV.

Corvus Solution

Market-Making & Liquidity Provision

We facilitate structured market-making environments that improve price discovery and reduce bid-ask spreads for industrial metals. Our capacity includes designing trading protocols, counterparty frameworks, and settlement mechanisms that align with regulatory requirements and institutional expectations.

Market Reality

Global Benchmark Alignment

MXV connects to LME, CME Group, and Singapore exchanges. Vietnamese participants increasingly require access to benchmark pricing and hedging instruments. The infrastructure for linking domestic physical markets to global benchmarks is still maturing.

The Hurdle

Basis Risk & Operational Complexity

Hedging Vietnam-specific exposure against international benchmarks introduces basis risk. Operational infrastructure—clearing, collateral management, and compliance—must be robust enough to support institutional participation. Many local players lack the scale to build this internally.

Corvus Solution

Secured Trading Infrastructure

We engineer trading environments with transparent collateral, clearing protocols, and compliance frameworks. Our capacity bridges local physical market participants with institutional-grade execution and risk management structures.

Market Reality

Manufacturing & Infrastructure Growth

Vietnam's industrial land absorption and logistics expansion create sustained demand for metals. Secured supply chain financing and commodity-backed structures are increasingly sought by banks and corporates. The opportunity exists to formalize and scale these structures.

The Hurdle

Counterparty & Credit Risk

Unsecured trading exposes participants to counterparty default. Banks and insurers require rigorous KYC, collateralization, and dispute resolution frameworks before extending credit. Fragmented market structures increase operational and legal risk.

Corvus Solution

Structured Counterparty Frameworks

We structure counterparty agreements, collateral pools, and dispute resolution mechanisms that meet institutional credit and compliance standards. Our capacity includes aligning Vietnamese market practice with international risk management norms.
