Article 2 Posting of inside information on the website of the issuer, the offeror or the person seeking admission to trading


Summary What does Article 2 of the ITS on insider information disclosure say?

This article sets out the website publication requirements that issuers, offerors, and persons seeking admission to trading must meet when disclosing inside information.

It works hand in hand with Article 1, which governs the broader dissemination of inside information through media channels — Article 2 establishes the baseline written record that those dissemination channels (including social media and web-based platforms) must link back to.

The core obligation is to publish inside information as a downloadable written statement on their website, using language that is clear, precise, and not misleading.

The article then details the specific standards that website must meet to ensure users can access and navigate that information effectively.

Important points:

  • Publish inside information on your website as a downloadable written statement, using clear, precise, and not misleading language.
  • Ensure the website provides free, non-discriminatory access, organises disclosures chronologically in an easily identifiable section, and displays the date and time of each disclosure.
  • Provide users with the ability to receive alerts via email, message, or pop-up whenever inside information is published.

Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.

    1. Issuers, offerors, and persons seeking admission to trading for crypto-assets shall post inside information as referred to in Article 87 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on their website in the form of a downloadable written statement. The language used in the downloadable written statement to describe the inside information shall be clear, precise, and not misleading.

    1. The website referred to in paragraph 1 shall:

      1. enable users to access the inside information posted on the website in a non-discriminatory manner and free of charge;

      2. enable users to locate the inside information easily, by putting that information in an easily identifiable section of the website;

      3. clearly indicate the date and time of the disclosure of the inside information;

      4. list the disclosures of the inside information in a chronological order;

      5. provide the inside information in the language in which the white paper of the crypto-asset is drawn up and, where feasible, in a language customary in the sphere of international finance;

      6. provide users with the possibility to receive alerts via email, message, or pop-up that inform them that there are publications about inside information and that promote a swift access to those publications, whenever inside information is published.
