- The standard operates without requiring a network hard fork.
- ADA price fell nearly 9% in 24 hours amid the announcement.
Both Live Bitcoin News and CoinCodex report that Cardano has launched CIP-0113 on its mainnet, enabling the creation of programmable tokens with built-in compliance features like KYC, AML, and sanctions rules. They agree that this development allows issuers to embed compliance directly into digital assets without needing a network hard fork. However, CoinCodex specifically mentions the Cardano Market Integrity Task Force (CMTA) recognition, highlighting its potential role in regulated tokenization markets, while Live Bitcoin News emphasizes the standard's applicability to stablecoins.
Cardano has introduced CIP-0113, a new standard that allows for the creation of programmable tokens with built-in compliance features on its mainnet. This development enables issuers to embed know-your-customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), and sanctions rules directly into digital assets.
The CIP-0113 standard operates as a native asset on the Cardano blockchain, meaning it does not require a network hard fork to implement. This approach maintains the decentralization and security of the Cardano network while providing the necessary compliance features for regulated tokens.
Multiple outlets confirm that the launch of CIP-0113 is aimed at positioning Cardano as a key player in the regulated tokenization market. The Cardano Market Integrity Task Force (CMTA) recognition, as reported by CoinCodex, further strengthens this potential role.
The introduction of CIP-0113 comes at a time when the broader cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downturn. The total crypto market cap is currently at $2.9 trillion, with 
Bitcoin down 2.99% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 71, indicating a state of 'Greed' in the market.
Cardano's native token, ADA, has seen a significant price drop of nearly 9% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.255523 with a market cap of $9.59 billion. Despite this short-term decline, the introduction of CIP-0113 could have long-term implications for Cardano's position in the market.
Since this brief published about 6 hours ago, Cardano (ADA) has moved from $0.2555 to $0.2545 — -0.39%.
The chart plots ADA's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
Over the past 24 hours ADA moved -5.0% while Bitcoin moved -2.5%. ADA has historically moved about 1.52× Bitcoin, implying roughly -3.9% today — so this is roughly what its usual link to Bitcoin would predict.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ADA ≈ ₦347.38 (about $0.2545), down 5.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
