Cardano Lets Token Issuers Freeze and Seize Assets Under New Rules
The standard lets issuers block unverified or sanctioned transfers and freeze assets when regulators or courts require it.
- On Wednesday, October 7, 2026, The Cardano Foundation launched CIP-0113, enabling issuers of stablecoins, funds, and bonds to enforce compliance rules including freezing or seizing holdings on the Cardano network.
- Shared smart contracts on Cardano enforce compliance by verifying rules before transactions are approved, preventing tokens from reaching unverified or sanctioned addresses whenever they move between holders.
- Recognized by the Capital Markets and Technology Association, the standard is supported at launch by CardanoScan, BloxBean, Eternl, and GeroWallet following independent security audits.
- Other blockchains already offer comparable standards: Ethereum provides ERC-3643, Solana uses token extensions for transfer controls, and the XRP Ledger supports issuer-restricted tokens with claw-back capabilities.
- Chief Executive Frederik Gregaard of The Cardano Foundation said 'rules have to travel with the asset and be enforced every time it moves,' while ADA fell 4.5% over 24 hours.
