Abaxx Exchange

Abaxx Exchange — formally the Abaxx Commodity Futures Exchange and Clearinghouse — is a Singapore-based commodity derivatives exchange and clearinghouse licensed as a Recognised Market Operator and Approved Clearinghouse by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. It positions itself around "Smarter Markets": centrally-cleared, physically-deliverable commodity futures and derivatives designed to improve price discovery and risk management for the commodities central to the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Its contract suite spans energy, environmental, battery materials, and precious metals markets, with flagship benchmarks including LNG and carbon futures launched at inception and a Gold Singapore Futures contract now live. The exchange was founded by market practitioners drawn from Goldman Sachs, NYMEX, CME, and SGX, and its leadership team is credited with launching 10 exchange and clearing platforms over their careers. Abaxx describes itself as the first APAC-based commodity futures exchange and clearinghouse (excluding China) dedicated to physical delivery, and reports introducing 10 new commodity benchmark futures contracts in its first year of operation. The exchange launched in 2024 with centrally-cleared, physically-deliverable futures for LNG and carbon, and has since expanded into a growing suite of global benchmark contracts. Abaxx Exchange is part of Abaxx Technologies, a company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker ABXX and quoted on OTCQX as ABXXF. Abaxx Technologies develops and deploys the technology and market infrastructure behind the exchange. The exchange is headquartered in Singapore and hires across exchange and clearing operations, market research and product development, business development, and quantitative roles, reflecting its focus on building next-generation commodity market infrastructure. Its stated ambition is to build the benchmark futures contracts for the next decade of global trade — "the Henry Hubs and TTFs, the WTIs and Brents" — across the globalized natural gas market and energy transition commodities. In 2026, its Gold Kilobar Futures contract was named Best Innovation by an Exchange or Clearing House at the FOW Asia Pacific Awards, underscoring its push into precious metals alongside energy and environmental markets.
