Moscow Exchange to Add Solana, XRP and TRON Futures in 2026

Contracts will be cash‑settled in rubles for qualified investors under Bank of Russia rules.

Overview

  • MOEX will first publish official indices for SOL, XRP and TRX, which will then serve as the benchmarks for the new futures.
  • The contracts will follow the exchange’s existing monthly index‑futures design with no physical delivery of cryptocurrencies.
  • Access remains restricted to professional participants, with retail involvement limited under the current regulatory stance.
  • The exchange is evaluating perpetual futures and options tied to its Bitcoin and Ethereum indices for later in 2026.
  • Russia’s crypto framework is expected by July 1, 2026, as sanctions pressures and recent designations continue to influence market counterparties and liquidity.
