Overview
- MOEX will begin publishing four new crypto indexes on May 13, expanding its lineup to six and moving all digital-asset gauges to 15-second updates during trading and weekend sessions.
- Index values will come from a weighted price feed that pulls 50% from Binance, 20% from Bybit, and 15% each from OKX and Bitget, tying Russian benchmarks to overseas liquidity pools.
- Access stays limited to professional investors under Bank of Russia rules, and all crypto-linked products on MOEX settle in cash with no delivery of the underlying coins.
- MOEX says the new gauges could support futures later in 2026, signaling more exchange-traded exposure to altcoins once enough price history is in place.
- A new July 1 legal framework for licensed intermediaries is meant to bring more crypto activity under supervision, and the exchange targets ten indexes with potential direct trading by 2027 if regulators approve.
