Add us on Google by Vivian Nguyen May. 5, 2026Russia’s largest securities marketplace, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX), will begin calculating and publishing indices for four digital currencies, including Solana (MOEXSOL), XRP (MOEXXRP), TRON (MOEXTRX), and BNB (MOEXBNB), starting May 13, according to a Monday announcement.
These will complement its existing Bitcoin and Ethereum indices, increasing the total number to six, with a long-term goal of ten.
The new indices pull data from four major crypto exchanges, including Binance (50%), Bybit (20%), OKX (15%), and Bitget (15%).
From the same date, all indices will shift to near-real-time updates every 15 seconds across trading hours and weekend sessions, replacing the current daily publication schedule.
These indices are expected to support future financial instruments. Moscow Exchange made its entry into crypto market benchmarks in mid-2025 with the debut of the Bitcoin index. It later introduced its Ethereum index in October.
BNB, the native token of the Binance ecosystem, currently trades around $626 with a market capitalization near $85 billion, per CoinGecko. XRP sits at $1.4 with a $86 billion market cap.
Tron processes over $600M in monthly transaction volume, a figure that represents a 500% jump compared to the same period last year.
The Moscow Exchange plans to soon expand its crypto index coverage to ten assets. Futures contracts tied to these new indices are expected to launch later in 2026, initially restricted to qualified investors per Bank of Russia regulations.
A new legal framework for crypto transactions through licensed intermediaries is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
The reform is intended to introduce clearer rules to a market that has long functioned in a regulatory gray zone, while helping reclaim sizable annual trading fees currently captured by foreign platforms.
