SGX to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures
The Straits Times
|November 19, 2025
The Singapore Exchange (SGX) will introduce Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures on Nov 24 to meet rising institutional crypto demand, bridging traditional finance and crypto-native ecosystems.
-
These contracts will offer institutional, accredited and expert investors a continuous, no-expiry structure coupled with robust clearing and margining standards of listed derivatives, said the exchange in a bourse filing on Nov 17.
They will also adopt a funding rate mechanism, which allows fora reset of the basis risk.
This also ensures that the price of the futures contract converges towards the underlying cryptocurrency index price, mitigating the issue of basis risk that typically arises from hedging using traditional futures that have long expiry dates, said SGX in an FAQ document on its website.
