Asia Commodity Marketplace

What Asia Commodity Marketplace does

Asia Commodity Marketplace operates ACM Exchange, a BAPPEBTI-regulated commodity derivatives exchange headquartered in Jakarta and licensed by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade since 2016. The exchange connects domestic and international market participants — licensed brokers, traders, financial institutions, and (more recently) retail investors — through a proprietary Electronic Trading System (ETS) that supports standardized commodity contracts in gold, silver, platinum, and copper, including nano-sized contracts designed to lower minimum capital requirements. Clearing, settlement, margin management, and trade repository services are provided by its wholly-owned subsidiary Asia Commodity Clearing House (ACCH), which operates under a separate license from the same regulator and applies risk frameworks aligned with CPMI-IOSCO and Financial Stability Board principles.

ACM monetizes primarily through trading transaction fees on the ETS, recurring membership fees from licensed participants, and managed clearing and settlement fees from ACCH. Distribution runs through a membership-based onboarding flow, complemented by partnerships with major Indonesian banks (Bank BCA, Bank Mandiri, Bank CIMB Niaga), strategic partners CWT Group and Straits Financial, the state-owned inspection firm Sucofindo, and regional exchange MXV in Vietnam for cross-border product distribution. The exchange is pursuing geographic expansion into Vietnam (forums, MXV connectivity, VFCA MOU) and customer-segment expansion into retail through nano contracts.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or public listing, and operates with a small disclosed headcount of 14 employees. There are no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, or technology acquisitions in the input data; the technology stack is described in conventional exchange-infrastructure terms.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Singapore Exchange (SGX): Major regional incumbent offering commodity derivatives, including precious metals, and operating Asia Clear commodities clearing. ACM's leadership helped build SGX's commodity clearing infrastructure, but SGX is a much larger, more liquid incumbent.
• London Metal Exchange (LME): World's premier base and precious metals exchange. Sets the global benchmark pricing that ACM's nano copper, platinum, silver, and gold contracts reference, making it the upstream pricing incumbent for ACM's product set.
• COMEX (part of CME Group): CME Group's metals complex trades gold, silver, copper, and platinum futures. Sets the global reference prices ACM mirrors and competes for institutional flow against in APAC.

Direct peers

• MXV (Mercantile Exchange of Vietnam): Vietnam's national commodity derivatives exchange. ACM's MXV integration makes MXV both a partner and a direct competitor in offering nano-sized products to Vietnamese retail and institutional clients.
• ICDX (Indonesia Commodity and Derivatives Exchange): Indonesia's other licensed BAPPEBTI-regulated commodity derivatives exchange. Directly competes with ACM on gold, palm oil, and other commodity futures, and shares overlapping leadership pedigree (ACM's President Director previously led ICDX).
• Bursa Malaysia (Bursa Malaysia Derivatives): Operates Bursa Malaysia Derivatives, offering commodity derivatives including gold and palm oil futures. Comparable regulated regional derivatives exchange competing for SE Asian institutional volume.
• Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX): India's largest commodity derivatives exchange trading gold, silver, copper, and other metals futures. Highly relevant comparable given similar emerging-market, retail-accessible derivatives positioning.

Regional players

• Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOCOM / JPX): Japan's primary commodity derivatives exchange (now part of JPX), trading gold, platinum, and other metals. A regional incumbent serving Japanese institutional clients that overlaps with ACM's metals product set.
• Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE): China's leading commodity derivatives exchange trading copper, silver, and other metals. Regional peer that sets Asian pricing benchmarks competing for flow in the same metals complex as ACM.

Others

• Straights Financial Group (Straits Financial): FCM and clearing intermediary serving Asian derivatives clients; sister company to CWT Group (ACM's key strategic partner). Provides broker-intermediation services that overlap with ACM's broker-member ecosystem and clearing workflows.
