    2

    Quote-driven trading system

    A system where transactions are concluded on the basis of firm quotes that are continuously made available to participants.

    For each crypto-assetsmeans a digital representation of a value or of a right that is able to be transferred and stored electronically using distributed ledger technology or similar technology; traded on the trading system, the best bid and offer by price of each participant, together with the volumes corresponding to those prices.

    5

    Hybrid trading system

    A system falling into two or more of the types of trading systems referred to in rows 1 to 4 of this table.
