Which entities are covered


Operators of trading venues and central counterparties (CCPs).

Sub-sectors named in the annex

  • Trading venues
  • Central counterparties

Scope traps specific to this sector


Trap 1

CCPs and trading venues are financial entities under DORA, so the lex specialis rule applies.

Trap 2

Concentration risk in ICT providers is scrutinised more heavily here than anywhere else outside DORA itself.

What else applies to you


DORA; EMIR for CCPs; MiFID II for trading venues.

NIS2 rarely arrives alone. Where another EU act covers the same ground and is at least equivalent in effect, article 4 disapplies the corresponding NIS2 provisions — but only those, and only where that test is met.
