Moscow Exchange to launch perpetual futures for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Tron

The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) will begin listing perpetual futures tied to its own indices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Tron on September 22. These contracts are restricted to qualified investors, quoted in dollars, and settled in rubles without physical delivery of the underlying assets. Since the summer of 2025, MOEX has recorded over 600 billion rubles in crypto derivative trading volume from 72,000 qualified investors. While the Bank of Russia permits financial exposure to crypto assets, it maintains a strict ban on crypto payments.
