Article 13 Order instructions

This is a brief, focused article that forms part of a broader set of record-keeping obligations placed on crypto-asset service providers operating trading platforms.

Building on the wider framework established across Articles 10 to 15, it deals specifically with order instructions, requiring that a full record of all instructions received in relation to each order be kept.

The detail of what must be recorded is defined by reference to Section J of Table 2 of the Annex, meaning the article itself is concise by design, with the substantive technical requirements sitting in the Annex.

Important points:

• Maintain records of all order instructions received for each order, in accordance with Section J of Table 2 of the Annex.
• This obligation applies to crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets.
• The scope of the record-keeping covers all instructions received, meaning no order instruction is exempt from this requirement.
