Russia’s premier trading venue plans to broaden its digital asset benchmark offerings this month. Moscow Exchange announced it will begin tracking four additional cryptocurrency indices starting May 13. The expansion brings Solana, XRP, TRON, and BNB into the platform’s measurement framework alongside current Bitcoin and Ethereum indicators.
Solana and XRP Indices Arrive With Real-Time Data Feeds
Moscow Exchange confirmed the MOEXSOL and MOEXXRP benchmarks will go live mid-May. These new measurements will draw information from four prominent cryptocurrency platforms. The data weighting allocates 50% to Binance, 20% to Bybit, 15% to OKX, and 15% to Bitget.
The platform will transition all digital currency benchmarks to continuous 15-second refresh cycles. This updated cadence will operate throughout standard trading periods and extend into weekend hours. Daily calculation methods will cease on the launch date. Platform officials indicated these indices will serve as foundations for upcoming derivative offerings.
XRP maintains a price level around $1.4 with total market valuation approaching $86 billion. Solana enters the measurement framework as the exchange works toward its expanded coverage goals. The platform targets ten cryptocurrency benchmarks as its ultimate objective.
Moscow Exchange Adds BNB and TRON to Index Portfolio
The MOEXBNB and MOEXTRX benchmarks will debut alongside the Solana and XRP measurements. BNB currently trades near $626 with market capitalization reaching approximately $85 billion based on CoinGecko data. TRON records monthly transaction volumes exceeding $600 million, representing a 500% surge from year-ago levels.
The exchange launched its inaugural crypto benchmark with Bitcoin tracking in mid-2025. The platform subsequently introduced its Ethereum index during October 2025. The upcoming quartet of indices brings the aggregate total to six tracked digital assets. Exchange representatives confirmed the extended roadmap calls for ten monitored cryptocurrencies.
Futures products based on these indices will arrive during 2026. Initial access will remain limited to qualified investors per Bank of Russia regulations. Fresh legislation governing digital asset transactions becomes operational on July 1, 2026. This regulatory framework enables licensed intermediaries to process cryptocurrency transactions.
Exchange leadership emphasized the reforms will establish transparent guidelines for digital asset activity. Officials noted domestic venues seek to reclaim annual commission revenues currently flowing to international platforms. The revised index infrastructure and regulatory modifications commence deployment on May 13.
