Published at 2025-11-18 22:01:12

SGX Derivatives announced it will list exchange-cleared bitcoin and ethereum perpetual futures on November 24, 2025. The contracts offer continual, no-expiry exposure to BTC and ETH within a regulated, exchange-cleared framework, and will be available to institutional, accredited and expert investors in Singapore and beyond.

The move broadens regulated access to crypto derivatives in Asia and could attract more institutional flow and formal liquidity into the spot and derivatives markets. By offering perpetuals on a recognized exchange, SGX aims to strengthen price discovery and provide a familiar hedging tool for professional participants, while increasing competition with existing venues that offer BTC and ETH derivatives.
