Russia’s Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has launched perpetual futures contracts for five major cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Tron. The announcement was reported on September 22, 2026, via the Watcher Guru X channel, citing WatcherGuru. This marks a significant expansion of regulated crypto derivatives access within Russia’s state-overseen financial infrastructure.
The five newly listed perpetual futures cover Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, and Tron (TRX). Perpetual futures are derivative contracts with no expiry date, allowing traders to hold positions indefinitely while paying or receiving a periodic funding rate. Specific leverage parameters, contract sizes, and margin requirements for MOEX’s perpetual futures have not been disclosed in the announcement. At the time of writing, Solana is trading at approximately $117.29, down 0.30% over the past 24 hours.
For traders operating within Russia’s regulated financial system, the MOEX listing provides direct exchange-level exposure to five of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization — without requiring access to offshore centralized exchanges. MOEX operates under the oversight of the Bank of Russia, meaning these instruments sit within a regulated domestic framework, distinct from unregulated offshore platforms. Traders can access these contracts through MOEX-connected brokers and trading terminals already integrated with the exchange’s derivatives market.
The Moscow Exchange has been progressively expanding its digital asset product suite as Russia’s regulatory posture toward cryptocurrency derivatives has evolved. The addition of perpetual futures — a product format popularized by offshore exchanges such as Binance and Bybit — signals MOEX’s intent to bring internationally dominant trading instruments into its domestic regulated environment, offering an alternative to foreign platforms for Russian market participants.
Further technical specifications including contract multipliers, funding rate mechanisms, and eligible counterparty categories have not been published in the initial announcement. Traders and institutions seeking full product documentation should consult MOEX’s official derivatives listings directly. No trading URL was provided in the source announcement.
