Article 15 Trading phases and indicative auction price and volume

Summary What does Article 15 of the RTS on trading platform order book records say?

This article closes out the series of record-keeping obligations placed on crypto-asset service providers operating trading platforms.

It focuses specifically on trading phases and auction-related data, requiring that indicative auction prices and volumes be recorded in line with Section K of Table 2 of the Annex.

It also addresses what happens when competent authorities request this data, clarifying which specific fields are automatically considered part of that request.

Important points:

Maintain records of trading phases and indicative auction price and volume in accordance with Section K of Table 2 of the Annex.
When competent authorities request Section K details, fields 8 and 14 to 17 of Table 2 of the Annex are considered included in that request.
Competent authorities are the trigger for the second obligation — the scope of data to be provided expands automatically upon their request, without requiring further specification.
