🇷🇺 Moscow Exchange (MOEX) Perps Mechanics
MOEX's launch of perpetual futures on BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, and TRX brings crypto derivatives onto a regulated Russian financial market infrastructure.
- Settlement Basis: Perpetual futures lack fixed expiry dates, rolling indefinitely via an ongoing funding fee mechanism that tethers contract price to spot index.
- Clearing & Ruble/USDT Parity: While underlying indices track global USD spot rates, margin and settlement balances typically settle through clearing house accounts.
- Contract Sizing: Micro-contract fractions allow domestic institutional and retail hedgers to mitigate exchange rate and commodity fluctuations.
