币界网报道：The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) is preparing to launch cryptocurrency futures trading by year-end, utilizing its own Bitcoin index as the underlying asset. Russia's largest exchange has developed the MOEX Bitcoin Index, calculated from prices on major global crypto exchanges, with plans to introduce similar indices for other cryptocurrencies. This move follows the Russian central bank's approval for MOEX to offer digital asset trading, though initially limited to qualified investors. The exchange is currently finalizing technical and regulatory details with the Bank of Russia, aiming to create a regulated alternative to existing crypto derivatives platforms. MOEX's initiative comes as Russia explores broader cryptocurrency adoption while maintaining regulatory oversight, with the exchange positioning itself to potentially expand its crypto offerings based on market demand and regulatory developments.
