Cardano launches programmable token standard CIP-0113, supporting KYC, sanctions screening, and other compliance rules.

The Cardano Foundation has officially launched the programmable token standard CIP-0113 on the Cardano mainnet, enabling regulated asset issuers such as stablecoin operators, tokenized funds, and bond issuers to embed compliance rules including KYC, anti-money laundering, sanctions screening, asset freezing and confiscation, and transfer restrictions directly into their tokens, which are then enforced by the Cardano ledger with every transfer, mint, and burn. This standard requires no hard fork; the tokens remain native to Cardano, and issuers can update compliance modules in response to regulatory changes.
