Singapore Exchange Plans to Roll Out Bitcoin Perpetual Futures in 2025

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) plans to introduce Bitcoin perpetual futures trading capabilities which will become available during the second half of 2025. The new move positions Singapore to become a leading global platform for controlled digital asset trading operations.

The trading of Bitcoin perpetual futures remains continuous without limits because these derivatives lack expiration dates while offering leveraged Bitcoin price exposure. Professional investors choose this product because it gives them regulated exposure to decentralized crypto services through offshore platforms.

The exchange facility has explicitly stated that retail traders must exit the program because the product represents challenging high-risk operations. This product reaches the market solely to professional and institutionals investors due to Singapore’s restrictive financial standards.

Key Details:

  • Product Type: Bitcoin perpetual futures (no expiry)
  • Target Audience: Institutional and professional investors only
  • Launch Timeline: H2 2025 (pending regulatory approval)
  • Regulator: Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)
  • Legal Framework: Payment Services Act

The crypto industry has received strong endorsement from experts for traditional financial standardization. According to SGX’s Chengyi the futures platform exists to integrate Bitcoin with conventional financial portfolio management systems.

The regulated platform of SGX receives support from Shi Le of Auros and Darius Sit of QCP Capital because it reduces investor risks through minimum counterparty exposure.

Singapore recently granted 13 cryptocurrency licenses during 2024 while issuing licenses to OKX and BitGo among other companies as numbers stood at double the previous yearly limit.

The entry of global institutions including Fidelity and Standard Chartered into digital finance markets combined with SGX’s offering will produce new energy for digital finance expansion across Asian markets.
