🟦The Moscow Exchange is preparing to launch a new derivative product — a futures contract based on a Bitcoin index. According to Vladimir Krekoten, Managing Director of the exchange, index calculation began on June 10 and will soon serve as the foundation for the upcoming contract. This move reflects growing investor interest in crypto-related assets and the exchange’s intent to expand its product lineup within the current regulatory framework.
🟦A previously launched futures contract based on BlackRock’s ETF has already demonstrated strong demand, with trading volumes exceeding ₽7 billion in just a few weeks. The exchange is also considering the introduction of mutual funds and structured products focused on the crypto market. According to Krekoten, all the necessary infrastructure is already in place.
