DLT market infrastructures and their operators should be subject to additional requirements compared to traditional market infrastructures. The additional requirements are necessary to avoid risks related to the use of distributed ledger technology or the way in which the DLT market infrastructure would operate. Therefore, an operator of DLT market infrastructure should establish a clear business plan that details how the distributed ledger technology would be used and the applicable legal terms.
