Moscow Exchange Debuts First-Ever Bitcoin Index Amid Rising Demand

The Moscow Exchange (MOEX) has launched the MOEXBTC, a Bitcoin index that uses weighted price data from Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Bitget to reflect Bitcoin’s value across major global exchanges.

The index aims to serve as a benchmark for potential future financial instruments, expanding MOEX’s crypto-related offerings and increasing its presence in the digital asset space.This launch follows MOEX’s recent introduction of crypto-linked futures for qualified investors. It also comes after the Bank of Russia approved the offering of crypto-tied derivatives and financial products in May, while maintaining a cautious stance and advising institutions and clients against direct investments in cryptocurrencies.
