Ghana to Begin Regulating Crypto by September 2025
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has announced plans to introduce cryptocurrency regulations by September 2025. This follows the anticipated passage of the Virtual Asset Providers Act, which will authorize the BoG to license and oversee virtual asset service providers.
Ahead of the rollout, the central bank is setting up a dedicated Digital Assets Unit to strengthen supervision. The regulations will focus on areas like mandatory registration, anti-money laundering compliance, and aligning with international standards.
Ghana’s move reflects a broader trend across Africa to create safer, more transparent digital asset markets while supporting innovation and protecting consumers.
