Adds further details from paragraph 2 onwards

    July 21 (Reuters) - Singapore Exchange SGXL.SI said on Tuesday that it will introduce depository receipts for Elon Musk's SpaceX SPCX.O, ride-hailing firm Grab GRAB.O, and tech conglomerate Sea SE.N.
Singapore's bourse operator said that trading for the depository receipts commences trading on Wednesday, allowing investors to trade the companies in Singapore Dollar during local market hours.
The three inclusions expand SGX's offering to 38 depository receipts across Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and the United States, the statement said.

        SGX said the launch would allow retail investors to access exposure to the equities, with the DRs allowing for a simplified and convenient way to gain exposure in the local currency.
The introduction of SpaceX's depository receipts comes after its rockets-to-AI blockbuster IPO last month, the largest ever.
Grab and Sea, although listed in the U.S., are both headquartered in Singapore.
"By minimising traditional pain points such as foreign exchange friction and overseas market complexities, investors can conveniently build a globally diversified portfolio in SGD within a familiar trading environment," Bernice Tan, Securities Market & Depository with SGX said.
