SGX Derivatives Launches Bitcoin And Ethereum Perpetual Futures

SGX Derivatives announced on November 17, 2025 in Singapore that it will launch bitcoin and ethereum perpetual futures on November 24, 2025, offering continuous, no‑expiry contracts within an exchange‑cleared, regulated framework for institutional, accredited, and expert investors. The contracts are benchmarked to iedge Coindesk Crypto Indices and pair perpetuals’ crypto‑native structure with traditional clearing and margining standards.

The initiative aims to onshore part of the $187 billion daily average perpetuals market to Singapore, improving institutional trust, price discovery, and capital efficiency while following SGX membership and local regulatory rules; Michael Syn says the move applies “the same institutional discipline that underpins global markets” to crypto perpetuals. Market access, connectivity, and participation will proceed under SGX’s standard clearing, margining, and jurisdictional requirements.
