Moscow Exchange Explores 24/7 Crypto Trading Amid Regulatory Reforms

Moscow Exchange (MOEX), Russia's top stock exchange, is taking steps to increase its presence in the digital asset market. The exchange is exploring the possibility of launching 24/7 crypto trading, which would enable it to operate at the same pace as global crypto venues.

The discussions with brokers are centered on operating hours, account structures, and deposit mechanics. MOEX aims to create a seamless experience for users, mirroring Russia's National Settlement Depository. This would allow users to access their digital assets without directly holding wallets on the exchange itself.

MOEX has already begun testing crypto deposits and withdrawals with a limited number of brokers. The exchange is actively developing solutions to service the crypto market, according to a statement from MOEX.
