Recital 19 Mandatory LEI for service provider identification
In order to ensure certain and efficient identification of crypto-asset service providers responsible for executing orders or transactions, those providers should ensure that they are identified in the records maintained pursuant to their record-keeping obligations using validated, issued, and duly renewed legal entity identifiers (LEIs). Pursuant to Article 62 in Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, crypto-asset service providers are required to obtain a legal entity identifier in order to be authorised. Furthermore, to enable the competent authorities to fulfil their supervisory tasks and take enforcement measures in accordance with Article 68(10) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, such identifier should be verified, up-to-date and included in the records to be maintained in accordance with this Regulation.
