Moscow Exchange (MOEX) opened trading in perpetual futures tied to Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP and Tron on September 22, extending its regulated crypto derivatives offering for qualified investors. The Bitcoin BTCUSDF contract recorded about $1.3 million in first-day volume, a relatively modest figure compared with major global cryptocurrency exchanges, according to Crypto Briefing. The launch marked the formal start of crypto product trading in Russia's regulated derivatives market. The contracts are priced against U.S.-dollar-denominated crypto indexes but settle profits and losses in rubles, giving investors synthetic exposure without delivering or requiring custody of the underlying tokens. Each is structured as a one-day contract that rolls automatically, removing the need to manually move positions between monthly expiries. MOEX set Bitcoin's first-tier margin requirement at 22%, implying roughly 4.5 times leverage, while K1 and K2 funding parameters are 0% and 0.35%, respectively. The exchange's earlier monthly Bitcoin and Ether futures began trading in late 2025, followed by Solana, XRP and Tron contracts by May 2026. More than 72,000 qualified investors had traded MOEX crypto futures by September 2026, with cumulative turnover exceeding 600 billion rubles and average daily turnover reaching 2.5 billion rubles in August.
