Cardano Activates CIP-0113 as Address Activity Jumps
Cardano's CIP-0113 programmable token standard launched on mainnet as daily active addresses rose to about 27,500 on October 7 and 27,200 on October 8. Those levels were roughly 1.7 times the September weekday average, even though ADA's price dropped about 13% from October 6 to October 8. The Cardano Foundation also spun out its digital identity project Veridian as a Swiss company and tokenized most of its 1 million shares on Cardano.
If Cardano's activity holds, the upgrade could matter beyond traders. Tokenized shares may give smaller firms a new way to issue and track ownership, while digital identity tools could affect how people prove credentials online. Developers and investors may watch whether real usage follows the launch. Still, price swings and one week of data may limit broader confidence, so any social benefit would depend on sustained adoption, clear safeguards, and whether users trust these systems.
