Article 10 Events affecting the orders in crypto-assets
Summary What does Article 10 of the RTS on trading platform order book records say?
Article 10 is a short, focused article that sits within a broader framework of record-keeping obligations for crypto-asset trading platforms.
Building on the general data and identification requirements established in earlier articles, this article narrows its focus specifically to new orders, requiring that certain defined details be recorded for each one.
Those details are tied to a specific field in the regulatory annex, meaning the article operates as a direct pointer to the technical specification rather than spelling out the content itself.
Important points:
- Crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform must maintain a record of the details set out in field 20 of Table 2 of the Annex for all new orders.
- This obligation applies without exception to every new order, making it a blanket record-keeping requirement.
- The article connects directly to the Annex for the substance of what must be recorded, so field 20 of Table 2 is essential reading alongside this article.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets shall maintain a record of the details referred to in field 20 of Table 2 of the Annex in relation to all new orders.
