Russia’s largest securities exchange is broadening its market data toolkit, and crypto indexes are now moving closer to real-time use on MOEX.
Summary
MOEX adds four new benchmarks
Starting May 13, MOEX will add four new indexes tied to Solana, XRP, TRON, and BNB. The new symbols are MOEXSOL, MOEXXRP, MOEXTRX, and MOEXBNB.
These listings build on the exchange‘s existing Bitcoin and Ethereum benchmarks, which launched in 2025. However, the new slate gives MOEX coverage beyond the two largest assets.
How the indexes will be priced
MOEX plans to price the indexes using aggregated market data from major global exchanges. The weighting will come from Binance at 50%, Bybit at 20%, OKX at 15%, and Bitget at 15%.
Moreover, the exchange will speed up updates from once per day to every 15 seconds during trading sessions. That change should bring the figures much closer to live market conditions.
The broader design points to moex crypto indexes being used mainly in derivatives. A bnb index is among the planned tools, while the solana index, xrp index, and tron index widen the product set.
Regulation remains the key constraint
Crypto derivatives in Russia are still limited to professional investors. However, the rules also block direct crypto delivery, so exposure stays indirect inside a regulated structure.
At the same time, digital asset regulation is advancing. A bill under review is expected to be finalized by mid-2026, and it could allow limited retail participation under a capped annual allowance of around $4,000.
That said, MOEX expects further expansion. The exchange sees its coverage rising to at least 10 assets, with Dogecoin and Cardano mentioned as possible future additions.
For now, the move reinforces Russia’s effort to formalize crypto market infrastructure while keeping access controlled. The new crypto indexes show how MOEX is preparing for broader derivatives demand without opening direct spot exposure.
