MOEX TO LAUNCH ETHEREUM & U.S. TREASURY FUTURES – RUSSIA’S CRYPTO DERIVATIVES MARKET EXPANDS

🔹 $ETH ereum Gets a Russian Futures Contract

🔹 First-Ever U.S. Debt-Based Futures to Hit MOEX

Russia’s top exchange, the Moscow Exchange (MOEX), is stepping deeper into crypto and global markets.

Starting in August, MOEX will offer futures tied to Ethereum (ETH) – the second-largest cryptocurrency. The product will be based on the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF by BlackRock, with contracts mirroring the price of a single fund share.

This move follows MOEX’s recent Bitcoin ETF futures launch, which saw massive interest, reaching over 1.25 billion rubles in retail open positions by late June.

At the same time, MOEX is also pioneering futures on U.S. Treasury bonds, a first for Russia. The contracts will reflect the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, tapping into the growing investor appetite for U.S. government securities as yields flirt with 5%.

💡 With crypto adoption rising and geopolitical finance diversifying, Russia’s investment scene is shifting fast. MOEX also plans futures on top Chinese stocks like Tencent and Xiaomi, expanding its global reach.

Stay tuned — Ethereum and U.S. bond futures could reshape investor strategies in the region.
