We are writing to request clarification regarding the regulatory treatment of perpetual futures. Specifically, we would like to confirm whether, in cases where a Cyprus Investment Firm (CIF) offers listed futures contracts through a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) operating in Europe, the perpetual futures offered by the CIF would fall within the scope of Category 10 – Other Derivatives, as defined in the First Appendix, Part III of Law 87(I)/2017, as amended from time to time.

In addition, we would appreciate your confirmation on whether any leverage restrictions apply to perpetual futures, either under CySEC’s national rules or under EU-level requirements, particularly in the context of investor protection measures.

What is the submission format for the incident reports (initial notification, intermediate and final) that CTPPs and Financial Entities need to submit to the CA?

The DORA law states that ICT third-party service providers must fully cooperate during onsite inspections and audits conducted by competent authorities, the Lead Overseer, the financial entity, or an appointed third party.
Will these audits be conducted the same way if the provider is located outside Europe,

Can you confirm our understanding of the DORA law: an intra-group entity providing services to a financial entity is subject to the same obligations as a non-critical third-party provider. This includes requirements related to contractual arrangements, provisions for critical functions, exit strategies and termination conditions, information registry, reporting to competent authorities, and pre-contractual assessments. Additionally, if the services involve critical or important functions, further requirements apply, such as TLPT tests and audits by competent authorities.
