Singapore Exchange to Roll Out Open-Ended Bitcoin Futures Listing
The Singapore Exchange plans to list bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of 2025, targeting institutional clients and professional investors, in a move that could significantly expand market access for this asset class. The firm's offering is expected to bring retail customers into the picture, potentially creating a new level of volatility in the markets. However, no specific details have been provided on how the exchange intends to ensure regulatory compliance with existing laws and regulations.
- As the first major exchange to list bitcoin futures, Singapore Exchange may set a new standard for institutional investor engagement, but will this model prove scalable and resilient to market fluctuations?
- How might Singapore's approach to regulating cryptocurrency trading influence other exchanges around the world in their own plans for offering similar products?
