Bitcoin Futures Expansion: Singapore Exchange Set to Launch in 2025



The Singapore Exchange Ltd. (SGX) announced plans to launch bitcoin perpetual futures in the latter half of 2025, introducing a significant development in the integration of cryptocurrency into traditional financial markets. These bitcoin perpetual futures are specifically designed for institutional clients and professional investors, and will not be available to the general public. SGX's strategic move comes at a time when other traditional exchanges, like Japan's Osaka Dojima Exchange Inc., are also seeking to introduce bitcoin futures, underscoring a rising institutional interest in digital assets. The launch of these futures is still pending approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Perpetual futures differ from standard futures as they do not have an expiration date, allowing for ongoing trading based on bitcoin's price fluctuations. This offering aims to provide a secure and regulated trading environment, leveraging SGX's high credit rating from Moody’s to attract institutional participants wary of unregulated exchanges. With this initiative, SGX seeks to bolster institutional engagement in the crypto market while addressing the credit risks posed by unregulated platforms.
