What Moscow Exchange does

Moscow Exchange (MOEX) is Russia's largest exchange group, operating a multi-market electronic trading platform covering equities, bonds, derivatives, currencies, and precious metals. Founded in 1992, headquartered in Moscow, and listed publicly under ticker MOEX, the exchange serves over 41 million retail investor accounts, 200+ listed corporate issuers, and a base of institutional and professional participants under Bank of Russia regulatory oversight. The platform combines a central matching engine with the National Clearing Centre (central counterparty) and the National Settlement Depository (central securities depository and settlement bank), and calculates 450+ real-time market indices including the flagship IMOEX (Moscow Exchange Index, live since September 1997) and the RGBITR government bond index.

MOEX's technology stack has expanded materially since 2025. The exchange launched crypto-asset benchmarks — first MOEXBTC and MOEXETH in 2025, then MOEXSOL, MOEXXRP, MOEXTRX, and MOEXBNB in May 2026 — each aggregating 15-second pricing feeds from Binance (50% weight), Bybit (20%), OKX (15%), and Bitget (15%). It has also introduced ruble-settled crypto futures on XRP (May 2026), precious-metals indexes for silver, platinum and palladium (June 2026), and extended trading hours through weekend sessions for stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds. In May-June 2026 MOEX ran a two-phase AI agent infrastructure test in which 38 AI agents executed 13,000+ trades, with the majority reportedly outperforming the IMOEX benchmark. Data distribution is supported by a calendar API for trading schedules and integration with broker-dealer terminals and the Finuslugi financial-services marketplace.

Revenue is generated principally through transaction fees on traded volume across multiple markets, supplemented by IPO/listing fees (26 IPOs since 2022 with cumulative proceeds above 380 billion rubles), central-counterparty clearing fees, and recurring index-data and analytics subscriptions. Distribution is exclusively through licensed broker-dealers and the Finuslugi marketplace; institutional participants connect via direct market access on professional trading terminals. Investor education is delivered through the Moscow Exchange School, fintech investments through the MB Innovations venture fund, and supplementary services through wholly-owned subsidiaries including FinUsluGi and the National Settlement Depository.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Börse: European exchange operator with cash markets, derivatives (Eurex), clearing (Eurex Clearing), and indices (STOXX). Directly comparable to MOEX's multi-asset trading model with integrated clearing and benchmark publication across asset classes.
• Euronext: Pan-European exchange with primary listings across multiple jurisdictions, derivatives, and clearing services. Comparable to MOEX as a multi-asset exchange operator with cash equities, bonds, ETFs, and derivatives, though Euronext spans several geographies.
• Japan Exchange Group (JPX): Operator of Tokyo Stock Exchange and Osaka Exchange with cash equity, derivatives, and clearing operations. Comparable as a dominant regional exchange serving a primarily domestic retail-investor base in a regulated framework.
• B3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão): Latin America's largest exchange with equities, futures, FX, fixed income, and crypto products. Comparable to MOEX as a vertically integrated multi-asset exchange in a large domestic market with growing crypto and derivatives offerings.
• London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG): Global exchange operator integrating primary listings, clearing (LCH), indices (FTSE Russell), and data services. Comparable to MOEX's multi-asset platform model combining equities, bonds, derivatives, FX, indices, and clearing through subsidiaries.
• Singapore Exchange (SGX): Asian multi-asset exchange with equities, fixed income, derivatives, and commodities. Comparable to MOEX's integrated equities, FX, and derivatives offering in a single dominant domestic venue context.
• Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX): Major Asian multi-asset exchange operator with dominant domestic position, integrated clearing/settlement subsidiaries, and expanding derivatives and commodity products. Comparable to MOEX as a regional primary exchange with vertical clearing infrastructure and product diversification beyond equities.
• Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) / NYSE: Global exchange operator combining NYSE cash equities with ICE futures, clearing, and data services. Comparable to MOEX as an integrated exchange, clearing, and indices platform, though at vastly larger scale and global reach.

Regional players

• TMX Group (Toronto Stock Exchange): Canadian exchange operator with equities, fixed income, derivatives, and energy markets. Comparable multi-asset exchange model serving a resource-rich economy, though focused on Canada rather than Russia.
• BME (Bolsas y Mercados Españoles): Spanish exchange operator with equities, fixed income, derivatives, and clearing services. Comparable in scale and integrated exchange/clearing model, though primarily serving Iberia and select LatAm linkages rather than Russia.
