It enables direct peer-to-peer transactions and supports instruments regardless of the chain or custodian on which they were issued. Participants may settle bilaterally using their preferred settlement method, including CSD-based, on-chain, or bespoke arrangements. The OTC venue does not carry pre- and post-trade transparency reporting obligations under MiFIR. ### MTF — Multilateral Trading Facility (MIC: 360M) The MTF is a rule-based venue operating a Central Limit Order Book. It is authorised under Section 2 (2) No. 6 WpIG and subject to MiFID II multilateral trading facility requirements. Orders submitted to the MTF are matched automatically according to price-time priority rules. Pre- and post-trade transparency data for instruments listed on the MTF is published by 360X pursuant to MiFIR. ### DLT-MTF — Distributed Ledger Technology Multilateral Trading Facility (MIC: 360D) The DLT-MTF is a regulated venue authorised under Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EU) 2022/858 (the EU DLT Pilot Regime). It operates a Central Limit Order Book for instruments recorded on distributed ledger technology. The DLT-MTF may function as a Trading and Settlement System (TSS) or connect to a Settlement System (SS) under the DLT Pilot Regime, enabling direct settlement of DLT-native instruments. Pre- and post-trade transparency data is published pursuant to MiFIR. --- ## Market Structure ### Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) The CLOB is the primary execution mechanism on the MTF (MIC: 360M) and DLT-MTF (MIC: 360D). Participants submit orders to a central order book. Orders are matched automatically based on price-time priority: orders at the same price are executed in the sequence in which they were received. The CLOB supports the following time-in-force instructions: Good Till Day (GTD), Good Till Cancelled (GTC), Good For Day (GFD), Fill or Kill (FOK), and Immediate or Cancel (IOC). ### Request-for-Quote (RFQ) RFQ is an execution method in which a participant solicits price quotes from specific counterparties or liquidity providers. The requesting party specifies the instrument and quantity; the responding party provides an executable, bespoke price. RFQ is used when participants require tailored pricing or when executing in instruments or sizes where continuous order book liquidity may not be available. ### Click-to-Trade (CTT) Click-to-Trade is a streamlined execution mode that enables immediate order submission through a single action. CTT is designed to reduce the number of steps required to execute a trade, facilitating rapid execution for participants who have identified the price and quantity they wish to transact. ### Price-Time Priority Orders in the CLOB are ranked first by price (the best-priced order is matched first) and then by time of submission (among orders at the same price, the earliest-submitted order is matched first). This priority rule applies uniformly to all participants. ### Market Data 360X publishes market data at three levels of depth. Level 1 (L1) provides Best Bid and Offer (BBO). Level 2 (L2) provides Market By Price (MBP) depth. Level 3 (L3) provides Market By Order (MBO) granularity. These data streams are available to participants via subscription. ### Liquidity Liquidity on the MTF and DLT-MTF is provided by market makers and other participants who submit orders to the order book. The OTC venue operates bilaterally and does not contribute to centralised order book liquidity. ### Participants and Execution All three venues are restricted to professional clients under MiFID II. Participants connect through regulated onboarding and may access the venues via graphical user interface (GUI), REST API, FIX protocol, or WebSocket connections. A sandbox environment is available for pre-production testing. --- ## Settlement 360X supports multiple settlement models to accommodate the diversity of tokenized instrument ecosystems, custodians, and client preferences. ### Clearstream 360X provides settlement support for instruments issued via Deutsche Börse Group's D7 platform and the broader range of Clearstream digital asset instruments. Clearstream is a central securities depository (CSD) operated within Deutsche Börse Group. ### DTCC 360X supports execution and settlement of instruments tokenized by the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC). This covers secondary market access for institutional digital assets originating in the United States. ### Canton Network 360X is integrated with the Canton Network, an interoperability network for financial institutions. DTCC is documented as a primary network partner on the Canton Network. ### Bilateral Settlement 360X facilitates direct peer-to-peer settlement via institutional networks and tokenized cash rails. Documented bilateral settlement options include SWIAT, Regulated Layer 1, and J.P. Morgan Kinexys. ### DLT Pilot Regime — TSS and SS Under the EU DLT Pilot Regime (Regulation (EU) 2022/858), 360X may enable direct settlement of DLT-native instruments either through operation as a Trading and Settlement System (TSS) or by connecting to a Settlement System (SS). This allows instruments recorded on distributed ledger technology to settle without converting to traditional book-entry form. ### Fiat and EMT Settlement Instruments may be settled in their denominated fiat currencies. Alternatively, participants may use Electronic Money Tokens (EMTs) for settlement. The following EMTs are documented as supported: EURC, USDC, EURCV, USDCV, and EURAU. --- ## Listed Instruments 360X supports tokenized financial instruments across the following categories: - **Sovereign and Supranational Debt:** Debt instruments issued by sovereign states and supranational bodies. - **Corporate Debt:** Debt instruments issued by corporate entities. - **Equity:** Tokenized representations of equity securities, including tokenized stocks and related instruments (referred to as xStocks and Ondo-tokenized instruments on the platform). - **Private Markets:** Instruments associated with private market assets. - **Short-Term Liquidity:** Instruments used for short-term cash management, including money market and commercial paper instruments. - **Funds:** Tokenized fund interests and related structures. - **Commodities (via certificate structures):** Physical commodity exposures such as gold, silver, palladium, and platinum, accessed through tokenized certificates. - **ETFs and Indices (via tokenized structures):** Tokenized representations of ETF and index exposures. Instruments are accessible through the listed instruments page at https://360x.com/instruments and are filterable by type and segment. Pre- and post-trade transparency data for instruments listed on the MTF and DLT-MTF is published at https://360x.com/pre-post-trade. Each instrument carries an ISIN and a ticker symbol. Instruments originating across different chains, jurisdictions, and custodians are accessible through a single point of entry. --- ## Participants ### Broker Dealers Broker dealers may access the 360X trading venues to execute secondary market trades in tokenized fixed income, funds, and equity instruments on behalf of their clients or for their own account. The platform is designed to accommodate existing institutional trading and settlement workflows. Broker dealers may settle via CSD, on-chain, or bespoke bilateral methods, and may utilise existing credit lines for bilateral settlement. Onboarding is required prior to trading. ### Market Makers Market makers may provide liquidity across tokenized fixed income, fund, and equity instruments on the MTF and DLT-MTF venues. Market makers may quote, hedge, and arbitrage tokenized instruments through a single connectivity layer. The platform provides access to multiple issuers, assets, and settlement environments via a single connection. Market makers may operate across OTC, order book, and DLT-native market structures concurrently. ### Issuers Issuers may use 360X to distribute digital securities to institutional participants through regulated market infrastructure. The platform does not require commitment to a single blockchain or settlement architecture at the point of issuance. Issuers may access broker dealer participants and institutional investors through the same infrastructure used for secondary trading. ### Regulatory Status of Participants Participation is restricted to professional clients under MiFID II. 360X conducts assessment and evaluation of partners and service providers as part of its compliance programme. --- ## Glossary **BaFin** The Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht.

RFQ is bilateral and negotiated; the CLOB is continuous and automated. **What is Click-to-Trade?** Click-to-Trade (CTT) is an execution mode that enables immediate order submission through a single action, reducing the number of steps required to execute a trade once a participant has identified the instrument, price, and quantity. **What types of assets can be traded?** 360X supports tokenized financial instruments across sovereign and supranational debt, corporate debt, equity, funds, private markets, short-term liquidity instruments, and commodity-linked certificate structures.
