What VIX Securities does

VIX Securities (Công ty Cổ phần Chứng khoán VIX) is a Vietnamese non-banking financial institution that provides securities brokerage, investment advisory, securities depository, underwriting, enterprise financial consulting, and shareholder management services. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Hanoi, the firm is publicly listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) under the ticker VIX and operates with a 51–100 person team serving retail, professional, and corporate issuer clients across the HOSE, HNX, and UPCOM exchanges. The core technology platform is the proprietary XPower Trading Platform 4.0, delivered through web, desktop, and iOS/Android mobile clients, with differentiated features including conditional orders, social copy trading (Copytrade), and the XWealth AI investment assistant; DATX serves as the underlying digital asset technology infrastructure. The business model is multi-line: brokerage and trading commissions, advisory fees, securities depository and custody, underwriting and IPO support for corporate issuers, and shareholder management services for listed companies. The most strategically significant forward position is VIX's preliminary approval as one of only five entities licensed to operate a cryptocurrency exchange under Vietnam's five-year pilot program (Resolution 05/2025/NQ-CP, with Ministry of Finance preliminary approval March 27, 2026), targeting a Vietnamese crypto market with reported annual transaction volumes exceeding $200 billion.

• BithumbflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 7 May 2026While not a direct VIX partnership, Bithumb (South Korean crypto exchange) has signed MoU with SSI Digital for Vietnam crypto market entry.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• SSI Securities Corporation: Vietnam's largest securities brokerage by market cap, also applying for one of Vietnam's five preliminary crypto exchange licenses. Directly comparable full-service brokerage with proprietary digital platform and corporate finance business.
• Mirae Asset Securities (Vietnam): Korean-backed Vietnamese securities firm with full-service brokerage and proprietary digital platform. Comparable product set and target customer base, with regional parent providing technology leverage similar to VIX's in-house build.
• FPT Securities: Technology-forward Vietnamese securities firm backed by FPT Group. Comparable digital-first positioning and retail brokerage focus, making it a useful parallel for VIX's tech-led strategy.
• Viet Capital Securities (VCSC): Mid-sized Vietnamese securities firm with strong institutional/corporate finance franchise. Comparable in ECM advisory, brokerage, and proprietary research capabilities.
• VNDirect Securities: Major Vietnamese retail-focused securities broker with strong digital trading platform. Comparable in business mix (brokerage, advisory, margin, proprietary tech) and customer base (Vietnamese retail investors).
• Ho Chi Minh Securities Corporation (HSC): One of Vietnam's longest-established securities firms offering brokerage, investment banking, custody, and asset management. Directly comparable on service breadth and institutional client base.

Regional players

• Bithumb: Major South Korean crypto exchange that signed an MoU with SSI Digital to enter Vietnam's regulated crypto market. Represents the foreign strategic entrant that could compress VIX's potential share even if VIX secures a license.

Emerging players

• LPBank Securities: Securities arm of LPBank, also among the five entities preliminary-approved for Vietnam's crypto license. Comparable emerging direct competitor with bank-affiliated capital and distribution.

Broad incumbents

• VPBank Securities (VPBankS): Securities affiliate of VPBank, one of the five preliminary-approved crypto license applicants. Leverages VPBank's large retail deposit base for cross-sell, comparable to TCBS.
• Techcombank Securities (TCBS): Securities arm of Techcombank, one of Vietnam's largest private banks. Also preliminary-approved for the crypto license. Wider product portfolio and parent-bank distribution give it scale advantages over VIX.
