Compared to the previous regime, the scope of the MAR is extended to a wider range of financial instruments, i.e. any financial instrument traded on a regulated market, a Multilateral Trading Facility or an Organised Trading Facility, as well as any other financial instrument, the price or the value of which depends on or has an effect on the price or the value of such financial instruments.
