Article 1 General principles of presentation of the information on operating rules for trading platforms

This opening article establishes the baseline transparency obligation for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) that operate trading platforms.

It sets out how and where platform operating rules must be published, focusing on both the quality of the disclosure and its practical accessibility to the public.

Important points:

• If you operate a crypto-asset trading platform, publish your platform's operating rules free of charge in a way that is easily accessible, non-discriminatory, prominent, comprehensible, fair, clear, and not misleading.
• The operating rules must be consolidated into a single document and published on the CASP's website.
• There is no cost that can be passed on to users accessing these rules — publication must be free of charge.
