On September 22, 2026, the Moscow Exchange will begin trading one-day settlement futures contracts with auto-renewal on the MOEX indices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Tron. The new contracts are available only to qualified investors.
Perpetual futures offer a convenient mechanism to participate in the price movements of digital currencies and, combined with a reliable trading and settlement infrastructure, create additional diversification opportunities for professional market participants and their clients in the crypto-asset market. The new instruments are settlement-based and do not involve the delivery of the underlying asset.
Maria Patrikeeva, Managing Director of the Derivatives Market at the Moscow Exchange:
“The launch of perpetual futures on digital currencies is an important stage in the development of the Russian derivatives market. We see strong demand from investors for working with derivative financial instruments on digital assets. It is fundamentally important to provide access to such instruments within the framework of Russian legal regulations: the Moscow Exchange infrastructure guarantees the reliability of settlements, transparency of pricing, and protection of the rights of all market participants. Since the launch of the first futures on digital assets in the summer of last year, more than 72 thousand qualified investors have conducted transactions with these contracts on the Moscow Exchange, and their total volume of operations has exceeded 600 billion rubles.”
