Singapore Set To Launch Bitcoin Perpetual Futures In 2025: Best Crypto To Buy?

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) will enter the cryptocurrency derivatives market this year by introducing Bitcoin perpetual futures. According to a Bloomberg report dated 10 March 2025, the SGX plans to list Bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of 2025.

“The company will strictly target institutional clients and professional investors, with retail customers barred from trading the instruments,” SGX spokesperson told Bloomberg.

What does this mean for Singapore’s rising institutional interest in digital assets? SGX’s move provides a regulated platform for Bitcoin trading. Furthermore, by offering these products, SGX aims to provide institutional investors with a secure and transparent platform for cryptocurrency exposure while mitigating risks associated with unregulated exchanges.

However, this is possible only after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) signs off on it.

Bitcoin perpetual futures are derivative contracts that allow traders to speculate on the price of Bitcoin without owning the underlying asset. Moreover, unlike standard futures contracts, perpetual futures do not have an expiration date, enabling continuous trading.

In December 2024, Singapore granted 13 cryptocurrency licenses to major industry players, marking more than double the licenses issued by the city-state in 2023. This move signifies Singapore’s intention to offer a stable and supportive environment for digital asset firms.

With liquidity flowing back into meme coins, MEMEX offers a platform for investors looking to invest in a basket of meme coins without getting deeply involved in individual tokens. MEMEX offers different index baskets catering to various risk appetites of investors.

The experienced team behind MEMEX curates these Meme Index baskets and also acts as a governance token offering holders a say on which tokens to include or exclude from a particular fund. MEMEX is about to hit an impressive $4 million in presale funding before going live on both DEXs and CEXs soon.

Overall, Singapore’s move towards launching Bitcoin perpetual futures reflects the growing institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies and solidifies its position as a global leader in embracing blockchain and digital asset innovation.
