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, a programmable token standard enabling issuers of stablecoins, funds, and bonds to freeze or seize holdings and enforce transfer restrictions.
  • Shared smart contracts on Cardano enforce compliance rules before transfers occur, ensuring restrictions travel with assets across different services and prevent tokens from reaching unverified or sanctioned addresses.
  • Recognized by the Capital Markets and Technology Association, a Swiss industry body, the standard is supported by CardanoScan, BloxBean, Eternl, and GeroWallet following independent security audits.
  • Other blockchains already offer similar capabilities: Ethereum provides the ERC-3643 standard, Solana uses token extensions, and the XRP Ledger supports issuer-restricted tokens with clawback functions.
  • Frederik Gregaard, chief executive of The Cardano Foundation, stated that "rules have to travel with the asset and be enforced every time it moves," as ADA fell 4.5% over 24 hours.
