(59) At present, the definition of financial instrument in Directive 2014/65/EU does not explicitly include financial instruments issued by means of a class of technologies that supports the distributed recording of encrypted data, namely, distributed ledger technology. In order to ensure that such financial instruments can be traded on the market under the existing legal framework, the definition of financial instruments in Directive 2014/65/EU should be amended to include them.
