TechFlow News, May 5: According to Bits.media, the Moscow Exchange announced on May 13 it will begin calculating and publishing indices for four cryptocurrencies: Solana (MOEXSOL), Ripple (MOEXXRP), Tron (MOEXTRX), and Binance Coin (MOEXBNB).
The index values will be calculated based on a weighted average of trading volumes across cryptocurrency exchanges: Binance accounts for 50%, Bybit for 20%, and OKX and Bitget each for 15%. The Moscow Exchange stated these indices may serve as underlying assets for new financial instruments in the future.
Starting May 13, the calculation frequency for all cryptocurrency indices—including the existing Bitcoin index (MOEXBTC) and Ethereum index (MOEXETH)—will be synchronized and increased from once daily (published before 18:00 Moscow time) to every 15 seconds throughout the trading day and during weekend extended trading sessions.
The Moscow Exchange plans to expand its cryptocurrency benchmark index suite to ten indices. The preliminary list also includes Dogecoin (MOEXDOGE), Cardano (MOEXADA), Hyperliquid (MOEXHYPE), and Chainlink (MOEXLINK). All crypto-related instruments will be available exclusively to qualified investors. The exchange expects to launch direct cryptocurrency trading in early 2027.
