🚀 Moscow Exchange Launches Bitcoin ETF Futures (IBIT) – But Who's Buying?

Breaking News:

Russia's "MOEX" just rolled out futures trading for BlackRock's $72.4B IBIT Bitcoin ETF – but with a catch:

▪️ Only for accredited investors (June 4 launch)

▪️ Mandatory qualification tests start June 23

▪️ Central Bank still cold on direct crypto exposure

🔍 The Big Picture:

📈 IBIT now a top 25 global ETF in just 1.5 years

🇷🇺 Russian retail traders still prefer Binance over regulated products

🌐 Institutional crypto adoption keeps expanding – even in cautious markets

💡 Why It Matters:

✔️ Tests Russian institutional demand for BTC

✔️ Highlights growing ETF dominance worldwide

✔️ Shows regulatory disconnect between exchanges & central banks

Will Russian whales dive in? Or is this just paperwork?
