Cardano Launches CIP-0113 for Regulated Asset Compliance
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
The Cardano Foundation has activated CIP‑0113, a token standard that embeds regulatory compliance into regulated assets such as stablecoins, funds, and bonds. The standard enables issuers to enforce identity verification, sanctions screening, and asset‑freezing rules on every transfer without a network hard fork. Issuers can customize and update these rules as regulations evolve, while holders may be subject to controls that allow authorized parties to move tokens without their consent. The standard was deployed after independent security audits and is supported by wallets Eternl and GeroWallet, CardanoScan, and BloxBean.
💡 Why It Matters
- · By embedding compliance directly into the asset, Cardano gives regulated issuers a scalable, on‑chain solution that eliminates the need for costly network upgrades.
- · This approach could set a new industry standard for how digital securities meet evolving regulatory demands.
