A DLT MTF should be a multilateral trading facility that is operated by an investment firm or a market operator authorised under Directive 2014/65/EU and that has received a specific permission under this Regulation. A credit institution authorised under Directive 2013/36/EU that provides investment services or performs investment activities should only be allowed to operate a DLT MTF when authorised as an investment firm or market operator under Directive 2014/65/EU. DLT MTFs and their operators should be subject to all requirements that apply to multilateral trading facilities and their operators under Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council, under Directive 2014/65/EU or under any other applicable Union financial services legislation, except for requirements in respect of which an exemption has been granted by the competent authority in accordance with this Regulation.
