Moscow Exchange plans to launch cryptocurrency trading services starting Dec. 1 under new Russian legislation, according to a TASS report cited by PANews. Boris Blokhin, the exchange’s senior managing director, said testing will continue before the service goes live.
The move follows the exchange’s earlier rollout of crypto asset index futures and perpetual contracts for qualified investors, covering BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and TRX. The planned spot-side trading service would mark another step in Moscow Exchange’s crypto offering under the updated legal framework.
Russia’s new rules require citizens to buy cryptocurrencies legally through licensed intermediaries such as exchanges and brokers. The report did not disclose additional operational details beyond the planned launch date and ongoing testing.
