Moscow Exchange Adds XRP to Cryptocurrency Derivatives Lineup
Russia's largest securities marketplace is expanding its cryptocurrency derivatives offerings by adding XRP to its lineup. The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) announced that trading will begin on September 22, 2026, covering indices linked to XRP, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Tron (TRX).
The new group of perpetual-style futures contracts will operate as one-day settlement futures with automatic renewal. The XRP-linked contract will trade under the code XRPUSDF and reference the exchange's MOEXXRP index.
Investors using these contracts will not receive XRP or any of the other cryptocurrencies represented by the indices. Instead, they gain exposure to movements in the underlying index without taking possession of the digital asset itself. The products are cash-settled derivatives, meaning participants do not hold physical ownership of the assets.
The expansion comes after MOEX introduced its first crypto-linked futures products in the summer of 2025. Since then, more than 72,000 qualified investors have participated in cryptocurrency-related futures trading, while cumulative transaction volume has surpassed RUB 600 billion.
