CIP-0113 changes regulated token controls

The Cardano Foundation said on October 7, 2026, that CIP-0113 was live on Cardano mainnet after independent security audits. The standard lets issuers of stablecoins, tokenized funds, bonds and other regulated assets place rules such as know-your-customer checks, anti-money-laundering checks, sanctions screening and transfer restrictions directly into tokens.

The ledger enforces those rules when a token is transferred, minted or burned, and the standard does not require a hard fork, which is a change to the underlying network rules, according to the Cardano Foundation. The foundation also said the standard launched with support from Eternl, GeroWallet, CardanoScan and BloxBean.

Epoch 660 sets a 1.78 million transaction record

Cardano processed 1,780,896 transactions during the five-day period ending October 11, 2026, exceeding the previous record of 1,566,974 transactions from November 2021, Business Insider reported on October 16, 2026. The report attributed part of the activity to HOSKY's Doggie Bowl campaign.

The compliance design also brings a counterpoint for token holders. CoinDesk reported on October 7, 2026, that issuers can include controls allowing identity checks, transfer restrictions, freezes or seizures for assets using the standard. Those powers apply to the rules selected by an issuer for its token.
