Moscow Exchange to Offer Bitcoin Futures for Qualified Investors in June 2025

Moscow Exchange will launch Bitcoin futures trading on June 4th, 2025, available exclusively to qualified investors. This initial offering of futures contracts is set to expire in September 2025, quoted in US dollars and settled using the price of a Bitcoin trust ETF. Following Russia’s Central Bank authorization for financial institutions to offer crypto-linked derivatives to qualified investors earlier this year, this move signifies Moscow Exchange’s commitment to exploring the future of Bitcoin finance.
