Singapore Exchange (SGX) sidelines crypto products, citing the local market is “not ready.”

</ul> 
Singapore Exchange (SGX) CEO Loh Boon Chye said Tuesday that the bourse has no immediate plans to list cryptocurrencies, citing unripe conditions for such a move.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Formed in 1999 through the merger of the Stock Exchange of Singapore and the Singapore Intl Monetary Exchange, SGX has an interest in the Asian derivatives business and has built up a global listing venue for real estate trusts.

Speaking in an interview at the Reuters NEXT conference in Singapore on July 9, Loh <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sgx-no-immediate-plans-allow-061650686.html">said</a> “Not at the moment” when asked whether SGX would welcome crypto listings. 
“I think for any new product launches, it’s important for this to have a sustainable ecosystem support. That really means demand, that really means governance, that really means structure.” Loh explained. The ecosystem, I feel, at this point in time, is not ready for such products in Singapore.” 
Loh’s comment comes after the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) took a similar stand against crypto-centric exchange-traded products (ETFs) on January 18, a week following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. 
While MAS has banned the local listing of Bitcoin ETFs, citing volatility and user eligibility concerns, the regulator allows retail investors to access these funds in overseas markets and encourages them to “exercise extreme caution.” 
But as Singapore continues with its reserved approach toward crypto ETFs, other parts of the world are embracing the innovation.

Thailand was among the first countries to reverse its stance against crypto ETFs.&nbsp; 
After showing unwillingness to allow Bitcoin ETFs within its territory in January, citing a policy lacuna, the Thai SEC finally caved in and approved the first spot BTC exchange-traded fund on June 4. 
In Australia, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) <a href="https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02826170-6A1215032">welcomed</a> the second spot crypto product on Tuesday, allowing DigitalX’s Bitcoin ETF to be listed for trading under the ticker “BTXX”. Monochrome launched the first spot Bitcoin ETF on ASX on June 4.
