Singapore Exchange receives CFTC authorization to offer Bitcoin and Ether perpetual futures to U.S. institutions

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) has received authorization from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to offer Bitcoin and Ether perpetual futures to U.S. institutional investors. These contracts, which lack an expiry date, were originally launched in November 2025 for institutional and expert investors. The move provides U.S. institutions with additional access to regulated crypto derivatives, featuring exchange-traded clearing, margining, and risk-management standards.
