Deep Tide TechFlow news, October 7: The Cardano Foundation announced that the programmable token standard CIP-0113 has officially launched on the Cardano mainnet. It allows issuers of regulated assets such as stablecoins, tokenized funds, and bonds to embed compliance rules—including KYC, anti-money laundering, sanctions screening, asset freezes and confiscation, and transfer restrictions—directly into tokens. The Cardano ledger enforces these rules on every transfer, mint, and burn. The standard requires no hard fork, and tokens remain native Cardano assets. Issuers can also update rule modules in response to regulatory changes.

Additionally, the Cardano Foundation said that the Capital Markets and Technology Association (CMTA) of Switzerland has recognized CIP-0113 programmable asset tokens as equivalent to the CMTAT smart contract standard under its certification framework, enabling compliance certification for on-chain equity securities that meet CMTA standards.
