Article 7 Validity period and order restrictions

Summary What does Article 7 of the RTS on trading platform order book records say?

Article 7 forms part of a broader set of record-keeping obligations placed on crypto-asset service providers operating trading platforms.

Specifically, it deals with how these providers must capture and retain information about the conditions attached to orders — namely their validity periods and any restrictions on those orders.

It further requires that precise date and time records are kept for each validity period.

Important points:

Record both validity periods and order restrictions for every order placed on the trading platform, as specified in fields 9 and 10 of Table 2 of the Annex.
Maintain date and time records for each validity period in accordance with field 11 of Table 2 of the Annex.
Both obligations apply exclusively to crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets.
