Singapore’s capital markets could be entering a new phase.

Hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, this episode examines the planned SGX-Nasdaq dual-listing bridge expected to launch by mid-2026, allowing eligible companies to access both Singapore and US investors through a streamlined listing process.

We explore whether the initiative can help revive SGX liquidity, attract regional tech unicorns and strengthen Singapore’s position in global capital markets.

The discussion also looks at the role of the Equity Market Development Programme and whether Singapore is taking a more active approach to supporting IPO activity and market depth.

Plus: can SGX avoid becoming merely a secondary trading venue if valuation premiums and liquidity remain concentrated on Nasdaq - and what would success actually look like for Singapore’s market ecosystem?
