The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) is making significant strides in the cryptocurrency market by announcing the launch of three new indices in 2026. These indices will track the performance of popular digital assets including Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and TRON (TRX), marking a notable expansion of the exchange's offerings in the crypto space. The source reports that this move is expected to attract more investors to the platform.
MOEX's Pioneering Role in Russia's Crypto Investment Landscape
This initiative follows MOEX's pioneering role in Russia's crypto investment landscape, which began in 2025. According to Maria Silkina, head of the derivatives department, the exchange will also introduce cash-settled futures contracts based on these new indices, catering exclusively to qualified investors.
Commitment to Enhancing the Regulatory Framework
The introduction of these products aligns with MOEX's commitment to enhancing the regulatory framework for cryptocurrency investments in Russia. By expanding its range of digital asset products, the exchange aims to provide more opportunities for investors while adhering to existing regulations.
Recently, the Vietnamese government has implemented stricter regulations and taxation measures for the cryptocurrency market, contrasting with the Moscow Exchange's expansion in digital assets. For more details, see Vietnam's regulations.
