Each tracks a corresponding MOEX crypto index and automatically rolls over each day, allowing investors to maintain their positions without manually switching to a new contract at expiration.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike spot crypto trading, the futures do not deliver any cryptocurrency. They are quoted against US dollar-denominated indexes, while profits and losses are settled in Russian rubles.<\/p>\n<h2>Exposure without ownership<\/h2>\n<p>The structure means investors can gain exposure to crypto price movements without holding Bitcoin, Ether or other tokens themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Access is limited to qualified investors, according to MOEX. The products therefore expand the exchange&#8217;s existing derivatives market rather than opening spot crypto trading to retail investors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Russia picks Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT for public trading as retail faces $58,000 cap<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"> <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"\/> <\/span> <\/div>\n<p>Investors must also post collateral to trade the contracts. MOEX set first-tier minimum margin rates at 22% for Bitcoin, 35% for Ether, 38% for Solana, 43% for XRP, and 30% for Tron. The requirements mean traders must commit a portion of a position&#8217;s value as collateral, with XRP carrying the highest initial margin requirement among the five contracts.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter\" data-inline-newsletter=\"\" data-newsletter-placement=\"article-midpoint\" data-newsletter-pending-label=\"Joining\u2026\" data-newsletter-pending-status=\"Joining The Catalyst\u2026\" data-newsletter-email-required-message=\"Before sending, please provide your email address.\" aria-labelledby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" aria-describedby=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-copy\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__inner\">\n<div class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__content\"> <span class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__eyebrow\"> <i class=\"fa-regular fa-envelope\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/> The Catalyst <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cs-inline-newsletter-1-title\" class=\"cs-inline-newsletter__title\">What\u2019s moving crypto.
