Even with the current promotion you would need to transfer 32,000 TYP to have 20,000 Elevate points. How many SQ miles are required for the same flight?
SQ uses a tiered award chart, Saver, Standard, Full. For JFK-FRA the one way miles are:

Saver
Economy 17,000
Business 48,875
First 57,375

Standard
Economy 34,000
Business 68,000
First 105,400

Full
Economy 46,750
Business 204,000
First 391,000
