Cardano Foundation has spun off Veridian into an independent company and tokenized most of its shares

The Cardano Foundation has spun off the digital identity project Veridian into an independent Swiss company and has tokenized most of its 1 million shares on the Cardano blockchain. Veridian becomes the first company to adopt the Cardano CIP-0113 standard.

This standard allows token issuers to impose transfer restrictions and freeze or seize assets to meet regulatory requirements. Veridian's mobile wallet is now live and is developing related credentials to help individuals, businesses, and AI agents verify identities and permissions without relying on centralized databases.
