Moscow Exchange (Moex) will launch cryptocurrency indexes for Solana (SOL), XRP, Tron (TRX), and BNB starting May 13, 2026. The move marks the first time the exchange has expanded its crypto index offerings beyond the Bitcoin and Ethereum benchmarks it already provides.
Which tokens made the cut
The four new indexes cover SOL, XRP, TRX, and BNB. These are among the largest digital assets by market cap and trading volume, though Moex hasn't disclosed the exact methodology or weighting. The existing BTC and ETH indexes have been available since late 2023.
Why Moex moved now
Russia's crypto landscape has been shifting. The central bank has softened its stance, and lawmakers are pushing for clearer regulation. Launching indexes for a broader set of tokens lets Moex offer more reference rates for institutional investors, fund managers, and anyone pricing crypto-denominated products. The exchange hasn't said whether it plans to launch futures or options based on these indexes.
Timing and next steps
The May 13 launch is just over a week away. Moex hasn't announced any pricing tiers or subscription details for the new indexes. The exchange typically publishes its index values in real time via its data feed. Whether this leads to a full spot crypto trading platform remains an open question — Moex has been studying the idea but hasn't committed.
