CIP-0113 reaches mainnet on October 7

CIP-0113 is a programmable token standard, meaning that compliance conditions can be attached to an asset and enforced when it is transferred, minted or burned. The Cardano Foundation's digest said the rules can cover know-your-customer checks, anti-money-laundering screening, sanctions checks, transfer restrictions and freeze or seizure controls, according to Cardano.

The same October 14 update said Cardano Foundation's Veridian project issued its shares on-chain using CIP-0113. The standard is intended for stablecoins, tokenized funds, bonds and other regulated assets, according to Cardano. The development gives the Cardano price a dated network event to track without establishing a cause for the current market level.
