Bank of Ghana to begin cryptocurrency regulation by September — Governor Asiama

The Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Dr Johnson Asiama, has disclosed that the central bank is poised to begin regulating cryptocurrency platforms and virtual asset providers by the end of September 2025, marking a major policy shift in Ghana’s financial regulatory landscape.

Speaking at the African Leaders and Partners Forum in Washington, D.C., held on the margins of the IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings, Dr Asiama said the move is pending the passage of the much-anticipated Virtual Asset Providers Act, which will formally empower the BoG to license and supervise operations in the digital asset space.
