MOEX to Launch Perpetual Futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, TRX

Moscow Exchange (MOEX) is set to launch five perpetual futures tied to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, and Tron indexes on September 22. The contracts will be dollar-quoted and ruble-settled, with automatic rollover and daily funding calculations under the exchange's specifications.

The new contracts will track the MOEX indexes for each of these cryptocurrencies, which were introduced in May using data from major exchanges like Binance and Bybit. These indexes are used to calculate settlement values for existing contracts on the exchange.

MOEX already offers monthly futures tied to the same five cryptocurrency indexes, with more than 72,000 qualified investors having traded its digital-asset futures since their introduction last summer. The cumulative transaction volume has exceeded 600 billion rubles, with a strong demand for derivatives tied to digital assets.
