Relevant recitals

Recital 2 Uniform record standards for supervision

Crypto-asset service providers should be free to determine the manner in which they keep records of relevant data relating to all orders and transactions in crypto-assets. However, consistent and comparable records on services, activities, orders and transactions are essential for competent authorities to fulfil their supervisory tasks and to take enforcement measures. In particular, competent authorities should be able to perform the same analysis on all record datasets, regardless of which crypto-asset service provider produced the record. Crypto-asset service providers should therefore provide consistent details of the records on services, activities, orders and transactions by using uniform standards where a competent authority requests such information pursuant to Article 94 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. For the same reasons, it is necessary to specify that the records should be maintained in a medium allowing effective supervision by competent authorities.

Recital 3 Alignment with MiFIR reporting standards

In order to leverage from the knowledge and application of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council(²)Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 (OJ L 173, 12.6.2014, p. 84, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2014/600/oj)., to ensure consistent reporting standards across financial sector and to minimise the reporting burden for crypto-asset service providers, data should be recorded in accordance with the standards referred to in that Regulation. In order to ensure consistency between this Delegated Regulation and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/416(³)Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/416 of 29 November 2024 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the content and format of order book records for crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets (OJ L, 2025/416, 14.3.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg_del/2025/416/oj)., the same standards should apply when the records are also required in accordance with that Delegated Regulation.

Recital 13 Specified order transmission data requirements

To ensure that competent authorities have access to information that is relevant, accurate and complete, the details relating to the order to be transmitted between crypto asset service providers should be specified.
