📊 SGX Crypto Futures: Slow and Strong Growth in 2025
Singapore Exchange (SGX) is gradually building liquidity in the bitcoin and ether perpetual futures market at a steady pace. SGX President Michael Syn stated that this growth is organic and the exchange's focus is on long-term sustainability — not hype, not speculation.
Interestingly, institutions are not placing outright bullish bets on SGX.
Their primary focus is on cash-and-carry arbitrage strategies — where risk is controlled and returns are stable. Simply put, institutions are here to capture safe profits, not engage in emotional trading.
The biggest advantage of SGX's regulated perpetual futures is:
better risk management.
The exchange stays away from the chaos of auto-liquidation seen in high-leverage, unregulated markets. This means traders get a safer, more predictable environment — which is a must-have for professional investors.
Overall, SGX is building its crypto market with strength rather than speed.
And this approach is appreciated in the industry.
