Crypto in 2016: "Code is law." Crypto in 2026: "Code is law. Also, compliance can freeze your tokens." @Cardano just took CIP-0113 live at #TOKEN2049 . KYC checks, sanctions screening, freeze and seize, all enforced by the ledger itself. Before anyone panics: it's opt-in. It's built for stablecoins and tokenized funds. cardano:native itself isn't freezable. And honestly? This is where regulated assets were always heading. MiCA-style rules don't care about your ideology. They care about who can stop a sanctioned transfer. So the real question isn't "can this token be frozen?" It's "who holds the key, and did I know before I bought it?" Permissionless money and programmable compliance can both win. Just don't confuse one for the other.
