Article 5 Disaggregation of pre-trade and post-trade data
Summary What does Article 5 of the RTS on trading platform transparency data say?
This article governs how crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) operating trading platforms must present and structure the transparency data they are already required to publish under Articles 2 and 3.
Rather than introducing new disclosure obligations, it sets out the format and accessibility requirements for that existing data, including how it must be separated, disaggregated, and made available upon request.
Important points:
- Publish pre-trade and post-trade transparency data separately, not combined into a single feed or report.
- Upon request by any interested party, present the data disaggregated per individual crypto-asset, though bundled presentations are also permitted alongside this.
- The disaggregation and bundling requirements are waived where the underlying data from Articles 2 and 3 is already made available free of charge.
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 the information published in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 available to the public by publishing pre-trade and post-trade transparency data separately.
Crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform for crypto-assets shall upon request by any interested party make the data published in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 available to the public by presenting pre-trade and post-trade data disaggregated for each crypto-asset.
In addition to presenting the data in accordance with paragraph 2, crypto-asset service providers operating a trading platform may present the data referred to in paragraph 2 in bundles of crypto-assets.
Paragraphs 2 and 3 shall not apply where the information referred to in Articles 2 and 3 is made available free of charge.
