SGX Nasdaq dual IPO scheme 2026: New $1.55bn 'Global Listing Board' Proposal
SGX is proposing a 'Global Listing Board' to enable dual IPOs with Nasdaq by 2026. Learn about the $1.55 billion requirement and the adoption of U.S. disclosure rules.
One listing, two powerhouses. The Singapore Exchange (SGX) is planning to bridge the gap between Asian capital and Wall Street with a bold new initiative. On January 9, 2026, SGX launched a consultation process to adopt Nasdaq disclosure rules, paving the way for simultaneous IPOs in both jurisdictions.
Adopting Nasdaq Standards for the SGX Global Listing Board
The proposed "Global Listing Board" aims to simplify the complex regulatory hurdle for companies seeking a dual presence. By aligning with U.S. disclosure standards, SGX intends to reduce the administrative burden on private firms. According to Nikkei Asia, this move is designed to attract high-growth companies that want to tap into Asian liquidity while maintaining their visibility in the U.S. market.
A $1.55 Billion Gateway to Global Capital
Under the new proposal, companies must meet a valuation threshold of $1.55 billion to qualify for the Global Listing Board. This high bar suggests that the scheme is specifically targeting tech unicorns and established private entities looking for a strategic exit or expansion. The exchange is currently gathering feedback to finalize these requirements.
