Fact Check
The claim is strongly supported by multiple independent sources. The crypto.news article and the WuBlockchain X post both confirm all core elements: MOEX launching four crypto indexes (SOL, XRP, TRX, BNB) on May 13, 2026, with pricing data sourced from Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Bitget. The specific weighting detail - Binance at 50% and the remaining three exchanges sharing the other 50% - is consistent across all sources. Rootdata.com and Cryptopolitan provide additional independent corroboration. The only minor imprecision in the original claim is that it describes the data as 'weighted across' the four exchanges without specifying exact percentages, but this is accurate as a summary. No conflicting evidence was found.
Summary

The Moscow Exchange will begin publishing four new cryptocurrency indexes on May 13, 2026, covering Solana, XRP, TRON and BNB. The launch includes an official XRP index and expands MOEX’s regulated crypto benchmark suite beyond its existing Bitcoin and Ethereum indexes. According to the report, the exchange will calculate the new benchmarks using pricing data from Binance, Bybit, OKX and Bitget with weights of 50%, 20%, 15% and 15%, respectively, and update values every 15 seconds during trading hours. The products are restricted to qualified professional investors under Bank of Russia rules and are structured as cash-settled instruments, with futures tied to the new indexes expected after sufficient price history is established.

Terms & Concepts
  • Crypto index: A benchmark that tracks a cryptocurrency’s market price using data from selected trading venues and can support related financial products.
  • Cash-settled instruments: Financial contracts that pay gains or losses in cash at settlement rather than delivering the underlying asset itself.
  • XRP index: A price benchmark that tracks XRP, giving the market a standardized reference point for valuation and performance.
