Moscow exchange to add XRP, BNB, Solana, TRON to the crypto index list next week

Russia's largest securities market, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX), will begin publishing indices for four digital currencies, including Solana (MOEXSOL), XRP (MOEXXRP), TRON (MOEXTRX) and BNB (MOEXBNB), starting May 13.

These complement the existing Bitcoin and Ethereum indices, bringing the total number to six, with a long-term goal of ten.

The new indexes draw data from four major crypto exchanges, including Binance (50%), Bybit (20%), OKX (15%) and Bitget (15%).

Starting on the same day, all indexes will switch to real-time updates every 15 seconds during trading hours and weekend sessions, replacing the current daily publishing schedule.

These indices are expected to support future financial instruments. The Moscow exchange entered the benchmarks of the crypto market in mid-2025 with the first phase of the Bitcoin index. He later introduced the Ethereum index in October.

BNB, native to the Binance ecosystem, currently trades at $626 with a market capitalization of close to $85 billion on CoinGecko. XRP sits at $1.4 with a market value of $86 billion.

Tron handles more than $600M in monthly transaction volume, a figure that represents a 500% jump compared to the same period last year.

The Moscow Exchange plans to soon expand its crypto index coverage to ten assets. Futures contracts linked to these new indices are expected to start later in 2026, initially restricted to investors who qualify under the Bank of Russia regulation.

A new legal framework for crypto transactions through licensed intermediaries will come into effect on July 1, 2026.

The reform aims to introduce clearer rules to the market, which has long operated in a regulatory gray zone that currently helps recover the high annual trading fees charged by foreign platforms.
