The Cardano Foundation moved its identity unit Veridian into a standalone company on October 8, 2026 and mapped that company's shares onto Cardano. According to the foundation, it is the first security to sit on the chain under the new token standard CIP-0113. You cannot buy this paper, because CoinDesk reports it is not being publicly offered.

The Cardano price stands at $0.2546 on October 10, 2026, a gain of 7.3 percent within 24 hours and of 3.63 percent over the week.
