On 18 November 2025, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) announced it will roll out perpetual futures contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum starting 24 November. These contracts have no expiry date, are aimed at institutional and accredited investors, and reflect deepening infrastructure in the Asian digital‑asset market. Analysts believe this development may increase liquidity and hedge‑fund participation in crypto‑derivatives across the region, but caution that leverage risks and regulatory headwinds remain significant.
