Article 3 Post-trade transparency
Summary What does Article 3 of the RTS on trading platform transparency data say?
This article deals with post-trade transparency obligations for crypto-asset service providers operating trading platforms.
It establishes the baseline requirement to publicly disclose transaction details, and then goes further to set out how corrections to already-published trade reports must be handled — specifically addressing both cancellations and amendments.
It connects directly to Article 76(10) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, which provides the broader framework under which these post-trade disclosure requirements sit.
Important points:
- Publish full transaction details for each trade executed on your platform, in line with the data specifications set out in Annex II.
- Where a trade report is cancelled, publish a new report containing all original details alongside a cancellation flag.
- Where a trade report is amended, publish two new reports: one flagging the cancellation of the original, and one containing the corrected details with an amendment flag.
Springlex's summary of the article, a reading aid, not a substitute for the legal text.
Crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets shall make public the details of each transaction as referred to in Article 76(10) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 as set out in Tables 1 and 2 of Annex II.
Where a previously published trade report is cancelled, crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets shall make public a new trade report which contains all the details of the original trade report and the cancellation flag specified in Table 3 of Annex II.
Where a previously published trade report is amended, crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets shall make the following information public:
a new trade report that contains all the details of the original trade report and the cancellation flag specified in Table 3 of Annex II;
a new trade report that contains all the details of the original trade report with all necessary details corrected, and the amendment flag specified in Table 3 of Annex II.
