Moscow Exchange is launching perpetual futures tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and TRON. The contracts settle in rubles against crypto indices and have no expiration date.

  • New tickers: BTCUSDF, ETHUSDF, SOLUSDF, XRPUSDF, and TRXUSDF
  • Existing crypto futures have attracted 72,000+ investors and surpassed 600 billion rubles in turnover
  • Perpetual contracts roll automatically into the next trading day; no spot-crypto launch date has been announced

LaunchBar take: this is a major liquidity gateway for Russian professional traders, but not retail spot access. The volume proves demand is already here—watch basis, funding, and open interest for the first leverage-driven squeeze.
