Operators of DLT market infrastructures should submit regular reports to their competent authorities. ESMA should organise discussions on those reports to enable all competent authorities across the Union to gain experience from the impact of distributed ledger technology and to understand whether there are any amendments to Union financial services legislation that could be necessary to allow for the use of distributed ledger technology on a greater scale.
