Silver Singapore Futures Now Live for Trading on Abaxx Exchange

New physically deliverable 1,000 oz, four-nines silver contract supports price discovery and risk management for global industrial silver markets.

 

TORONTO and SINGAPORE, May 22, 2026 -- Abaxx Technologies Inc. (TSX:ABXX)(OTCQX:ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, and indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), which owns Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), today announced that trading has commenced in Silver Singapore (SSP) futures, expanding Abaxx Exchange’s precious metals product suite.

The contract is designed to address the gap between global silver price formation and the physical requirements of Asia’s industrial silver market, where demand for higher-purity material is increasing across solar and advanced electronics supply chains. By establishing a physically deliverable four-nines silver benchmark in Singapore, Abaxx SSP futures are intended to support more direct price discovery and hedging for commercial participants managing physical silver exposure in the region.

The Abaxx SSP futures contract is a U.S. dollar-denominated, 1,000-troy-ounce, physically deliverable product of 0.9999 fineness, with delivery into approved vaults in Singapore, including Brink’s Singapore.

“The launch of Abaxx Silver Singapore futures marks a meaningful step forward for the global silver market,” said Michael DiRienzo, President and CEO of the Silver Institute. “Asia is increasingly central to silver demand, driven by the extraordinary growth in solar energy and advanced electronics, two sectors where high-purity silver is indispensable. By establishing a physically deliverable, four-nines silver contract benchmarked in Singapore, Abaxx is addressing a long-standing gap in price discovery for Asia’s industrial silver users. The Silver Institute welcomes innovations that strengthen market infrastructure and give commercial participants better tools to manage their physical silver exposure.”

SSP futures are available for trading from 1000 to 2400 SGT, Monday to Friday, except for Singapore public holidays. Contract specifications, participating clearing firms and brokers, and market access information are available at abaxx.exchange/resources/start-trading.
