Moscow Exchange plans to launch crypto trading on December 1

  • Crypto trading on the Moscow Exchange is scheduled for December 1 if the regulatory framework is ready
  • Perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and TRON indices for professional participants start on September 22
  • Trading will be in quasi-dollars and rubles under a single clearing system
  • Shvetsov warned of the risk of fragmented liquidity due to multiple exchange market makers
Why it matters: The launch on Russia's largest venue will broaden access to crypto instruments, but the 300,000 ruble limit and fragmented liquidity will cap the effect.
