🇬🇭 GHANA READY TO REGULATE BITCOIN AND CRYPTO BY 2025 🇬🇭
The Bank of Ghana has announced that by December the regulations for Bitcoin and other digital assets will be fully operational, marking a historic turning point for the country.
According to Governor Johnson Asiama, the Virtual Assets Bill will be presented in Parliament by the end of the year, ensuring a clear regulatory framework for exchanges and crypto operators.
With over 3 million citizens (almost 9% of the population) already using cryptocurrencies for savings or payments, Ghana aims to balance innovation and financial security through licenses, KYC requirements, and anti-money laundering rules.
The country will thus become the ninth in Africa to introduce specific laws for digital assets, following the example of Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa.
This move, welcomed with optimism by the fintech sector, could attract international investments and consolidate Ghana's role as an emerging hub for cryptocurrencies in West Africa.
