Which cryptocurrency will Moscow Exchange launch next as an index?

📋 Context On May 13, 2026, Moscow Exchange (MOEX) launched indices for four new cryptocurrencies — Solana (MOEXSOL), Ripple (MOEXXRP), Tron (MOEXTRX), and Binance Coin (MOEXBNB). From May 14, settlement futures on SOL, XRP, and TRX indices begin trading (qualified investors only, ruble-settled). According to the official MOEX press release of April 17, 2026 (moex.com/n99407), the exchange plans to launch indices for four more cryptocurrencies: • Dogecoin (MOEXDOGE) — largest meme-coin, ~$18.9B market cap, #9 globally • Cardano (MOEXADA) — Layer-1 smart-contract platform, ~$10.4B • Hyperliquid (MOEXHYPE) — leading perpetual DEX, ~$10.2B • Chainlink (MOEXLINK) — largest DeFi oracle network, ~$7.5B MOEX CEO Viktor Zhidkov at Finopolis-2025 announced a plan to bring the total to 10 crypto indices. The calculation methodology was approved by order of April 23, 2026 and uses data from four largest crypto exchanges: Binance (50%), Bybit (20%), OKX (15%), Bitget (15%). All indices switched to real-time calculation (every 15 seconds) on May 13. 📋 Categories (mutually exclusive) • Winner = the index MOEX publishes FIRST after May 13, 2026 at moex.com/ru/index/ • Tiebreaker: if 2+ indices are published the same trading day, the one with the HIGHEST market cap of the underlying cryptocurrency on the publication date wins (per CoinMarketCap, UTC 00:00 same day) • "Will not launch new index" = none of MOEXDOGE / MOEXADA / MOEXHYPE / MOEXLINK published on moex.com through December 31, 2026 📋 Additional context • Hyperliquid (HYPE) is NOT listed on Binance Global spot (only Binance.US). Binance Global has HYPE perpetuals but no spot. This may be a structural impediment for MOEXHYPE index calculation given the 50% Binance weight. Probability of HYPE spot listing on Binance by end-2026 is estimated low (around 30-35% per aggregated external data). • Hyperliquid has also had governance incidents (JELLY case, March 2025; FARTCOIN attack, April 2026) and allegations from security researchers about money laundering, raising reputational risk for MOEX as a state-affiliated venue. • Bill №1194918-8 "On Digital Currency and Digital Rights" passed first reading April 21, 2026, with planned effective date July 1, 2026. MOEX index launches do not require this law's adoption. 📋 Resolution criteria • Winning outcome — first publication of MOEXDOGE / MOEXADA / MOEXHYPE / MOEXLINK index page on moex.com/ru/index/ OR first official index calculation in a trading session (whichever comes first) • Only indices count (not futures, not options, not perpetual futures) • Verification source: MOEX press release + index page on moex.com • Minimum 2 independent media confirmations (Vedomosti, Kommersant, RBC, Forbes Russia, Bits Media) • If one of the 4 indices is disqualified/cancelled by 31.12.2026 without others launching — market resolves "Will not launch" 📰 Sources Primary: • moex.com (index pages and press releases) • Vedomosti, Kommersant, RBC Investments, Forbes Russia • Bits Media, T-Investments Pulse Additional: • CoinMarketCap (for market cap tiebreaker) 🔧 Resolution process Market resolves within 12 hours of official index publication on moex.com. Dispute period — 48 hours after decision publication.
