On October 26, the State Securities Commission (UBCKNN) warned about fake websites impersonating Vietcombank Securities Investment Fund Management Company Limited (VCBF), after receiving a report from the firm. The sites copy VCBF's name, brand, slogans, information and products, and direct visitors to open accounts, place trades, deposit and withdraw money, and submit personal data. UBCKNN says the websites do not belong to VCBF, and their domain names closely resemble that of the VCBF Growth Stock Fund, one of the open-end funds the company manages. Investors are advised to carefully verify website addresses before providing personal information or making financial transactions.

- SSI Research Director projects a scenario of USD 10 billion flowing into Vietnam's stock market
Phạm Lưu Hưng, Director of Analysis at SSI Research, says MSCI values real implementation over new policies, so Vietnam should remove bottlenecks rather than wait for funds leaving Indonesia. Progress has emerged on free-float and foreign ownership, while the central counterparty (CCP) mechanism could be rolled out in Q1/2027 or by Q2/2027 at the latest. In the base case, Vietnam could be placed under review in 2028 and formally upgraded in 2029, and an earlier CCP launch could bring the timeline forward by a year. He estimates that total assets under management of MSCI-tracking funds could exceed USD 2,000 billion at the time of upgrade, and that a 0.5% weight would imply potential inflows of about USD 10 billion, possibly staged in tranches running until around 2030 in the base case.
- 24 'sharks' quietly did this before VN-Index's 47-point rally
According to FiinGroup, in September 2026, 24 of 37 open-ended equity funds increased their cash holdings, up from 16 in August. Large funds such as DCDS (NAV about VND 5,837 billion) raised cash from 9.1% to 15.5%, VLGF from 10% to 11.9% (its third straight month), and EVESG from 3.2% to 5%. In contrast, VFMVSF cut its cash share from 11.5% to 10%. The shift comes as equity funds fell an average 6% in Q3 and 7.2% over nine months, while funds saw VND 8,600 billion in net outflows in Q3 and nearly VND 31,700 billion year-to-date.
- VN-Index Forecast to Reach 1,940 Points in 2027: Investors Face a New Valuation Equation
SSI Research forecasts the VN-Index could reach 1,940 points in 2027 under its base scenario, based on 10.1% growth in market-wide earnings, a sharp slowdown from the roughly 30% estimated for 2026. The report warns of possible corrections before a recovery in late 2026 and early 2027, with choppy trading likely in the first half of 2027 as capital costs stay high. The 2027 P/E is projected at 10.7 times, or 8.3 times excluding VIC, but the report stresses that low valuations do not guarantee share gains. An expected FTSE-linked inflow of about USD 2.7 billion could be disbursed in four tranches from September 2026 to September 2027. Building materials and industrial property are viewed favourably, while banks are rated neutral and selective.
- Chief Accountant Hid Stock Trading for Nearly 14 Years
The State Securities Commission has announced fines totaling 450 million VND for two executives of CMH Vietnam Group Joint Stock Corporation (CMS): Deputy General Director Trần Văn Trung and Chief Accountant Đinh Thị Thủy, 225 million VND each. Both were found to have traded CMS shares through securities accounts registered in others' names, concealing their true ownership and evading information disclosure obligations. Trung's violation period lasted over 1.5 years, while Thủy's lasted nearly 14 years. The penalty decisions took effect on October 20, 2026.
- When will Vietnam's first crypto asset exchange launch? A notable timeline has been revealed
The Vietnam State Securities Commission says the launch of the country's first crypto asset exchange depends on the progress of the applicants. Five organizations have so far been shortlisted, and they are still building IT systems to meet level 4 standards under Resolution 05, after which they must contribute VND 10,000 billion in capital and complete their files. Once a phase-one certificate is granted, organizations have one year to finish the remaining requirements, so the deadline would fall in May next year if counted from May this year. The regulator encourages exchanges to list highly liquid assets such as Bitcoin, while investors holding unlisted tokens can transfer them through licensed exchanges. According to Chainalysis, Vietnam recorded USD 122.2 billion in crypto activity from July 2025 to June 2026, ranking second in Southeast Asia after Singapore.
- Crypto Scammers Who Used Prayer Groups to Lure Victims Must Pay $1.3 Billion, Says New York
New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking a court to order NovaTech founders Cynthia and Eddy Petion, and related companies, to pay about $1.37 billion after the couple fled the U.S. and failed to respond to the state's lawsuit. Four top promoters agreed to pay nearly $6 million to benefit victims and are permanently barred from the securities, commodities and crypto industries. The state says the scheme targeted immigrant communities, particularly Haitian New Yorkers, through prayer groups, social media and WhatsApp, drawing more than 11,000 New Yorkers with advertised returns of 2% to 4% a week. In reality, NovaTech sent just under $26 million to its trading provider and lost about $18.2 million, while weekly payouts came from new investors' deposits. When NovaTech collapsed in 2023, tens of thousands of investors could not withdraw their funds.

- Ministry of Construction Tightens Progress of Public Investment Disbursement
The Ministry of Construction has directed project owners and management boards to tighten control over the pace, volume and value of public investment disbursement in 2026, with just over 2 months left in the year. Operations must follow the “6 clears” principle: clear people, tasks, timelines, responsibilities, products and authority. Project owners must draft detailed construction schedules, specify completed volumes, disbursement values and plans for transferring capital between projects. Contractors on delayed projects must immediately resolve land clearance, materials and weather issues, with progress reviewed weekly and monthly. Disbursement results will be a criterion for assessing performance, and delayed contractors will be sanctioned, publicly listed on the National Bidding Network System and reported to the Ministry.
- Calpers pulls back from big tech as AI jitters deepen neocloud sell-off
California's pension fund Calpers, the world's fifth-largest with more than $600 billion in assets under management, cut the combined number of shares it directly held in the Magnificent Seven (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta Platforms and Tesla) by 26% in the first half of 2026, according to FT calculations from regulatory filings. The fund is increasing its private equity exposure to diversify beyond a few market leaders, and deputy chief investment officer Anton Orlich told the FT that public equity valuations look expensive and tech giants could underperform other investments. The backdrop includes SpaceX raising $40 billion in debt to buy GPUs for AI computing, while Elon Musk warned that financing had largely dried up for companies without substantial revenue outside AI data centers and predicted consolidation among neocloud providers. In pre-market trading on Monday, CoreWeave (CRWV), Cipher Digital and IREN all fell.
- 1 Popular Cryptocurrency to Buy Before It Soars by 873%, According to Cathie Wood's Ark Invest
Bitcoin fell to a 52-week low of $58,566 in July, 53% below its all-time high of $124,773, then rebounded to about $81,800 by Oct. 23. Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, forecasts Bitcoin's market cap could reach $16 trillion by 2030, implying $796,000 per coin and 873% upside from current levels. Its two main drivers are institutional funds allocating about 2.5% of their $200 trillion in managed assets, and Bitcoin capturing 20% to 60% of gold's $28 trillion market cap as "digital gold." The author argues the forecast may be too ambitious: Bitcoin has fallen 13% since the start of 2025 while gold has risen 57%, and a $16 trillion valuation would exceed the combined market caps of Nvidia, Apple and Alphabet. Although Bitcoin's recent recovery could continue, the author considers a rally to $796,000 per coin unrealistic.
- Ophir Mobilizes Crews for Surface Exploration at the Breccia Gold Project in Idaho
Ophir Metals Corp. has mobilized crews to restart exploration at its Breccia Gold Property, a 52-claim, 1,043-acre (422 ha) land package in Idaho's Blackbird Mining District about 40 km southwest of Salmon. The company is focusing on extending the Breccia Gold Zone north-northwest, where a new mineralized breccia outcrop was found about 800 m from the central zone, possibly a splay off the Meadows Fault Zone. A 2021 sample program collected 16 samples, including one returning 25.2 g/t Au, from breccia outcrops extending at least 200 m. Previously reported surface samples include 84.3 g/t Au and 31.3 g/t Ag on the Meadows Fault Trend, 57.6 g/t Au and 19.6 g/t Ag in the East Breccia Zone, and 16.4 g/t Au and 15.1 g/t Ag on the Musgrove Trend. CSAMT and magnetic surveys show a continuous structural corridor to the northwest, which the company says remains open along strike and at depth.
- Onyx Gold Drills 166.0 Meters of 0.7 g/t Gold at Argus Main and Extends Argus Trend to 2.6 Kilometers with New Gold Intercepts at Big Break and JM
Onyx Gold reports assays from 31 additional drill holes at the Argus Gold System and along the Pipestone Fault corridor within its 100%-owned Munro-Croesus Project, 75 km east of Timmins, Ontario. Argus Main hole MC26-343 intersected 0.7 g/t Au over 166.0 m, including 1.6 g/t Au over 21.7 m, and gold has now been identified across an approximately 2.6 km trend. First-pass drilling at Big Break, about 700 m southeast of Argus Main, returned 0.9 g/t Au over 11.0 m in MC26-295, while JM, about 1.2 km southeast, returned 18.8 g/t Au over 2.3 m in MC26-350, including 25.1 g/t Au over 1.2 m. Onyx controls about 8 km of prospective strike, of which about 4 km has been drill tested. Approximately 91% of the 110,000 m program is complete, but results have been released for only 146 of 264 completed holes (55%), with four rigs still active.
- Prediction: Broadcom Will Be a $4.5 Trillion Company by 2030
The author argues Broadcom could reach a $4.5 trillion market cap by 2030, from just over $1.5 trillion today. The thesis rests on rising demand for Broadcom's custom AI processors (XPUs) from customers such as Alphabet's Google, Meta Platforms, Anthropic and OpenAI, with XPU shipments up 3.5x and AI networking revenue up 2.5x year over year in fiscal Q3 2026. Broadcom expects AI revenue of $58 billion in fiscal 2026 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028, with EPS that could exceed $30.00 in fiscal 2028. Assuming 30% annual EPS growth in fiscal 2029 and 2030 to reach $51.36, and a 20x multiple, the article estimates a share price of $1,027, just over 3x current levels. The stock trades at 17 times forward earnings, a slight discount to the Nasdaq-100's 21.5.
