SGX to Introduce Bitcoin Perpetual Futures in 2025

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) plans to launch Bitcoin (BTC) perpetual futures in the latter half of 2025. Aimed at institutional clients and professionals, these futures will not be available to retail investors, marking a significant move for traditional exchanges into the crypto derivatives market. This development aligns with a growing trend of institutional interest in digital assets, influenced by pro-crypto policies from the U.S. government. However, the initiative awaits approval from Singapore's Monetary Authority and may enhance market participation while addressing risks linked to unregulated platforms.
