VANTIS Industrial Metals
Manufacturers need clearer prices and safer counterparties. Capital needs a market it can enter and exit with confidence.
Vietnam's industrial-metals market needs better price discovery, collateral, and counterparty security.
We design the protocols and frameworks that support that market. We do not operate an exchange.
Settlement risk sits in the gaps
A manufacturer hedging copper exposure needs a transparent price and a counterparty it can trust.
Vietnam's Mercantile Exchange has built links with Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, but industrial metals remain less developed than agricultural products. VANTIS works on the missing market structure: clearer prices, better liquidity, and safer settlement for copper, aluminium, and steel. We do not operate an exchange. We design protocols and coordinate physical participants, financiers, and authorities so the market can support more reliable trading.
Where industrial-metal markets fail
Opaque prices, basis risk, and counterparty exposure keep participants cautious.
Demand is ahead of structure
Vietnam's manufacturing and infrastructure build-out drives sustained demand for copper, aluminium, and steel, while MXV has strengthened linkages with SGX, BMD, and Indonesia's ACM. Regional markets are converging, yet domestic price discovery for industrial metals remains fragmented.
Prices are opaque
Traders and manufacturers face limited counterparties and settlement risk. Capital also needs a clearer way to enter and exit the Vietnamese metals market.
Build liquidity
We design protocols, counterparty rules, and settlement processes that improve price discovery for industrial metals.
Benchmarks need infrastructure
MXV connects to LME, CME Group, and Singapore exchanges, and Vietnamese participants increasingly need access to benchmark pricing and hedging instruments. The infrastructure linking domestic physical markets to global benchmarks is still maturing.
Basis risk adds up
Vietnamese participants often hedge local exposure against global benchmarks. Clearing, collateral, and compliance need to be strong enough for that link to work.
Secure the process
We design collateral, clearing, and compliance processes that connect local physical markets to global benchmarks.
Financing needs collateral
Industrial land absorption and logistics expansion sustain metals demand, and banks and corporates increasingly seek secured supply-chain financing and commodity-backed structures. The opportunity exists to formalise and scale these structures.
Counterparty risk blocks credit
Unsecured trades leave banks and corporates exposed to default. Credit depends on clear KYC, collateral, and dispute rules.
Set rules for counterparties
We structure agreements, collateral pools, and dispute processes that support secured trading.
