The Singapore Exchange plans to launch Bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of this year, targeting institutional and professional investors

BlockBeats News, April 21st, according to The Business Times report, the Singapore Exchange (SGX) announced plans to launch Bitcoin perpetual futures in the second half of 2025, targeting institutional and professional investors.

This move is in line with the broader trend of traditional exchanges entering the crypto derivatives market, driven by increasing demand for digital assets and the strong support of cryptocurrency by U.S. President Trump. Perpetual futures allow investors to trade the price action of cryptocurrencies, but unlike traditional futures, these derivatives have no expiration date.
