- The Cardano Foundation says CIP-0113, a programmable token standard, went live on mainnet during October.
- The standard allows token issuers to encode transfer restrictions into Cardano-based assets.
- The Foundation also said its .ada domain application advanced to the next ICANN review stage.
- ADA was quoted at 0.15 USD at 07:01 Berlin time on November 15, 2026.
The Cardano Foundation has highlighted progress in regulated digital assets and internet naming in its monthly update published on November 13. The update says CIP-0113, a programmable token standard, went live on Cardano mainnet during October, while the Foundation's application for a .ada top-level domain moved into the next stage of review.
ADA was quoted at 0.15 USD at 06:01 UTC, or 07:01 Berlin time, on November 15, according to the ADA/USD market quote. The quote carried a market capitalization of 5.372910857 billion USD. A dated UTC daily closing value for the prior day was not included with the quote, so no daily percentage comparison is presented here.
Programmable tokens reach mainnet
According to the Cardano Foundation's October 2026 update, CIP-0113 defines a programmable token standard that can place compliance rules inside the token itself. For example, a tokenized bond could restrict ownership to verified investors in approved jurisdictions, with the ledger rejecting transfers to unauthorized addresses.
The Foundation said the tokens remain native Cardano assets and that the deployment did not require a hard fork. The Capital Markets and Technology Association recognized the CIP-0113 Programmable Asset Tokens CMTA Profile as equivalent to its CMTAT framework. The Foundation also said that Veridian, its former digital identity platform, became an independent company and tokenized its shares under the standard.
Domain application advances
The same update said the Foundation's application for the .ada domain advanced to the next phase of ICANN's Generic Top-Level Domain program. The application followed a governance action that received about 75% community support. Approval would be required before .ada could become part of the public internet's domain system.
For investors, the developments point to infrastructure and governance progress rather than an immediate change in token demand. The Cardano price remains a separate market signal: the latest quoted ADA value was 0.15 USD, while the Foundation's update describes initiatives whose commercial and regulatory effects depend on future adoption.
Cardano's official website describes the network as a proof-of-stake blockchain with on-chain governance and applications spanning wallets, staking, lending, borrowing and voting. Further coverage is available on the Cardano topic page.
