Singapore Exchange Ltd. (SGX) is gearing up to launch bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of 2025. These contracts, aimed at institutional clients and professional investors, will not be available to retail traders. The move reflects a growing trend among traditional exchanges to embrace cryptocurrency derivatives. Japan’s Osaka Dojima Exchange Inc. is also seeking approval for similar offerings. The planned futures are pending approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Unlike traditional futures, perpetual contracts have no expiration date, allowing continuous speculation on price movements. SGX aims to provide a secure, regulated alternative for crypto trading, leveraging its Aa2 rating from Moody’s. This initiative could boost institutional participation in cryptocurrency markets while addressing credit risks associated with unregulated exchanges.
