The Vietnam State Securities Commission announced that Vietnam’s securities market has formally started operating a new information technology system, the KRX system, intended to provide an integrated and synchronised technology platform across the market. The system went live at 09:00 on 5 May 2025 with participation from the KRX contractor, the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation and market members. Initial assessments from the contractor and operators indicated stable, secure connectivity on the first trading day; two securities companies requested early-session support to reconcile data, which was handled promptly. The contractor and operating entities will continue close monitoring and coordination during the initial stabilisation period, with the enhanced functionality framed as enabling the rollout of new products and supporting the market upgrade objective.
