The Moscow Exchange just announced it's launching perpetual futures on indexes for five major cryptocurrencies — BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and TRX. Starting September 22, trading will be open to qualified investors only. These are cash-settled contracts, so there’s no delivery of the underlying crypto assets.

What’s Being Launched

We’re talking about perpetual (open-ended) futures on indexes tracking key crypto assets. The lineup covers BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and TRX indexes, letting traders build strategies that follow market moves without actually holding the tokens themselves.

Who Can Trade and How the Contracts Work

Only qualified investors can access these trades. The contracts are cash-settled — there’s no physical delivery of the crypto, just payouts in fiat based on the value of the relevant index.
