MOEX Introduces Perpetual Futures on Five Cryptocurrency Indices

The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) is expanding its cryptocurrency offerings by introducing 'perpetual' futures on several digital assets. Starting September 22, investors will be able to trade perpetual futures on indices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Tron.

These new instruments are designed for qualified investors only and will allow them to profit from changes in cryptocurrency prices without having to hold the underlying assets. The contracts will have automatic renewal, eliminating the need to constantly switch to a new contract after the previous one expires.

The Moscow Exchange has already seen significant success with its digital asset derivatives. Since launching its first futures in 2025, over 72 thousand qualified investors have made transactions, resulting in a total turnover of more than 600 billion rubles.
