Marex joins as day-one clearer for SGX Derivatives’ launch of bitcoin and ethereum perpetual futures, meeting institutional demand for transparent access to regulated crypto derivatives.

Marex Group plc (NASDAQ: MRX), a diversified global financial services platform, is proud to announce that the firm will serve as a clearer for SGX Derivative’s SGX Crypto Perpetual Futures product, launching today.

Perpetual futures are futures contracts with no expiration date, commonly used by institutional and professional traders for hedging or as a tool in arbitrage trading. With over $187 billion in global daily volumes, they are the most actively traded crypto derivative product, although much of this trading currently takes place on offshore exchanges. From today, SGX Crypto Perpetual Futures contracts will offer traders continuous exposure to bitcoin or ethereum, with the same transparency, operational standards, and risk management frameworks as traditional listed derivatives.

As a clearer for SGX Crypto Perpetual Futures, Marex is facilitating access to this innovative product under a regulated, exchange-cleared framework. This institution-grade model minimises counterparty risk through central clearing and provides greater operational transparency. To ensure transparency and tight pricing, SGX’s perpetual futures contracts will utilise a funding rate mechanism tied to the iEdge CoinDesk Crypto Indices, aligning with trusted institutional standards for price benchmarks for more efficient trading.

Demand for regulated crypto derivatives has increased dramatically following the launch of crypto ETFs, which provided a regulated means for institutions to gain exposure to this new asset class. The average 30-day volume for IBIT futures/options alone now exceeds 880,000 contracts, but pricing on derivatives tied to ETFs can lag behind real-time market movements and spot pricing.

In addition to providing clearing services for SGX’s crypto derivative products, Marex is a major clearer of crypto derivatives on CME, Cboe, Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, and Bitnomial. Marex Group plans to launch a new service offering cash lending collateralised by stablecoins and select crypto assets through Marex Financial, an FCA regulated entity.
