Artikel 16 Registrering av transaktioner som genomförs av filialer


Summary What does Article 16 of the RTS on record keeping say?

This article addresses a specific scenario within the broader record-keeping framework established by the regulation: where a crypto-asset service provider conducts a transaction through one of its branches.

It extends the general transaction recording obligations to capture branch-specific information, ensuring that records reflect not just the transaction itself, but the precise role and involvement of the branch through which it was carried out.

This connects directly to the transaction record-keeping requirements set out in Article 7, adding a layer of granularity for branch activity.

Important points:

  • Where you conduct transactions through a branch, include the ISO 3166 country code of that branch in your transaction records.
  • Record the branch's role in the transaction, including whether it received the client order, made an investment decision, or held supervisory responsibility over key personnel involved.
  • Record whether the transaction was carried out on a trading platform located outside the Union using the branch's membership of that platform.
