Singapore Exchange gears up to list Bitcoin derivatives
Singapore Exchange (SGX) plans to list Bitcoin perpetual futures as traditional exchanges push deeper into crypto derivative markets.
Singapore's largest exchange group intends to launch the contracts in the second half of 2025, a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. The company will strictly target institutional clients and professional investors, with retail customers barred from trading the instruments.
The move is the latest sign that established exchange operators are branching out into Bitcoin derivatives, as US President Donald Trump's pro-crypto agenda boosts demand for digital assets exposure. Bloomberg News reported on March 4 that Japan's Osaka Dojima Exchange Inc., which traces its roots to the 18th century, is planning to seek approval to list Bitcoin futures.
SGX hopes to act as a bridge between regulated financial markets and the freewheeling world of cryptocurrency trading. The firm thinks its offering will «significantly expand institutional market access,» the spokesperson said.
