Article 7 Enregistrement des transactions

This article deals with the post-transaction recording obligations of crypto-asset service providers.

It establishes that once a transaction has been undertaken, the relevant details must be recorded immediately, referencing specific tables in the Annex for what must be captured.

It also addresses what happens when competent authorities request that information, narrowing the obligation to respond to operators of trading platforms for crypto-assets specifically, who must then provide details as laid out in a designated column of the Annex.

This article complements Article 6, which covers the recording of orders and decisions to deal, by focusing on the transaction execution stage itself.

Important points:

• Record transaction details immediately after undertaking a transaction, in line with the fields specified in the Annex.
• When competent authorities request transaction details, operators of trading platforms for crypto-assets are required to provide the information set out in the fourth column of Table 3 of Section 3 of the Annex.
• The scope of who must respond to a competent authority request is narrower than the general recording obligation, applying specifically to trading platform operators rather than all crypto-asset service providers.
