Moscow Exchange is preparing to add four more crypto benchmarks, widening Russia’s regulated digital-asset market infrastructure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Wu Blockchain flagged the move in a post on X, saying Moscow Exchange will begin publishing indexes for Solana, XRP, TRON and BNB from May 13. The benchmarks will use price data from Binance at 50%, Bybit at 20%, OKX at 15% and Bitget at 15%, giving MOEX a blended reference rate built from major global crypto exchanges.
The four new tickers are expected to be MOEXSOL, MOEXXRP, MOEXTRX and MOEXBNB, according to same post. They will join MOEXBTC and MOEXETH, which the exchange already publishes for Bitcoin and Ethereum. From May 13, all of the exchange’s crypto indexes are expected to update every 15 seconds during the trading day and during additional weekend sessions, replacing the slower daily calculation model.
That shift matters because faster index updates make the benchmarks more useful for derivatives, structured products and professional market pricing. A once-daily reference can support basic reporting. A 15-second benchmark can support more active risk management and trading products.
The expansion does not mean Russian retail users are getting open spot trading in SOL, XRP, TRX or BNB immediately. The current push is still centered on indexes and regulated instruments for professional investors, with direct crypto market access depending on the broader Russian legal framework.
Russia has been moving toward a controlled crypto-investment regime that separates professional access from restricted retail participation. Earlier reporting on MOEX’s roadmap placed SOL, XRP and TRX futures inside the same cash-settled structure used for existing Bitcoin and Ethereum products, with no delivery of the underlying tokens and access limited to qualified investors.
That model gives regulators more control. Investors can gain price exposure without domestic platforms handling spot custody, withdrawals or open crypto payments. It also lets the exchange build benchmark infrastructure before any wider retail rules fully take effect.
The Russian market already has a large public interest in digital assets, and recent Moscow blockchain-sector activityshows that crypto, AI and digital asset regulation remain active topics among local firms, exchanges and government-linked institutions.
The asset list is also telling. SOL, XRP, TRX and BNB are not obscure tokens. They are large-cap crypto assets with deep global liquidity, strong exchange coverage and different market identities. Solana gives MOEX exposure to a high-throughput smart-contract ecosystem. XRP brings a payments and settlement narrative. TRON is closely tied to stablecoin transfer flows, especially USDT. BNB connects the index suite to one of the largest exchange-linked crypto ecosystems.
That makes the indexes more than simple price tickers. They create a regulated reference layer for assets that already matter in global liquidity. If futures or structured products follow, Russian professional investors could gain domestic access to altcoin exposure without moving funds through offshore exchanges.
There are still limits. Sanctions, exchange-data reliance, foreign liquidity sources and Russia’s evolving digital-currency law all shape how far MOEX can push the product suite. The use of Binance, Bybit, OKX and Bitget data also means the indexes depend on offshore crypto-market liquidity even though the products are meant for a domestic regulated exchange.
MOEX’s May 13 index launch gives Russia a broader crypto benchmark stack before full spot-market rules are settled. Bitcoin and Ethereum built the first layer, but SOL, XRP, TRX and BNB bring the exchange closer to a multi-asset crypto market framework where regulated derivatives can expand faster than direct token trading.
