When did the Moscow Exchange first calculate its XRP index?

The full answer

When was the index first calculated?

Moscow Exchange’s index page for MOEXXRP, the Ripple Index, says it was first calculated on May 13, 2026 [1]. The exchange publishes the index, so the date is its own statement rather than an outside check. The page also gives the index an ISIN code, RU000A10F4Q6 [1].

Does an index mean anything is trading?

No. An index is a published number that follows prices. It matters to credit and collateral because products such as futures, funds and margin rules often reference an index. cftc.gov stated on April 3, 2025: “Product Name: XRP Futures.” For how XRP is treated as margin in derivatives, see can XRP be used as margin for futures, options and perpetuals.

A Yahoo Finance page dated September 23, 2026 lists a Cryptonews headline, shown as four months old, saying Moscow Exchange plans Solana, Ripple and Tron futures as its crypto index suite expands [2]. A headline about plans is not a launch, and the headline alone does not give the date of any contract.

What is the case against reading much into it?

An index calculation shows that a price series exists. It does not show borrowing, lending or collateral demand. The collapses of crypto lenders in 2022 are the standard reminder that XRP held in credit arrangements carries counterparty risk; that history is in what happened to XRP held with crypto lenders that collapsed in 2022. For how products referencing XRP prices relate to fund shares used in repo, see whether XRP ETF shares are being used as repo collateral.

Where does the index price come from?

Moscow Exchange’s index page, as quoted here, gives the first calculation date and the ISIN code only [1]. The factors that move XRP’s price are covered in what drives XRP’s price.
