Recital 2

(2)To properly monitor the integrity and stability of the markets in crypto-assets, competent authorities need reliable, consistent and standardised information on the crypto-assets that are traded. Such information should allow them to identify the individual crypto-asset being traded according to internationally established principles. In addition, they should be able to retrieve the main characteristics of the crypto-assets, including their technology-specific features. Crypto-asset service providers should therefore use an appropriate asset identifier to identify crypto-assets in the order and transactions records that they provide to competent authorities. In light of that objective, the use of the Digital Token Identifier (DTI) managed by the Digital Token Identifier Foundation, or alternative eligible identifiers is provided for in Commission Delegated Regulation establishing technical standards adopted pursuant to Article 68(10), first subparagraph, point (b) to identify crypto assets that are the subject of an order or transaction to be recorded by the crypto-asset service provider. In light of those considerations and to ensure a consistent supervisory approach, it is appropriate to provide for the use of asset identifiers in this Regulation under the same conditions as in Commission Delegated Regulation establishing technical standards adopted pursuant to Article 68(10), first subparagraph, point (b).
