Crypto trading is now legal in Ghana after the enactment of the Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2025, Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Johnson Asiamah announced. The law provides a structured regulatory framework to oversee digital asset activities and address risks associated with the fast-growing sector.

The move, first reported by Daily Graphic, removes the uncertainty that previously surrounded crypto transactions. It also provides authorities with the tools to protect consumers and maintain financial stability, according to Dr. Asiama.

He stressed that firms operating in the sector will now be subject to licensing, supervision, and compliance requirements.

The governor said the law is designed to curb fraud and financial crime while encouraging innovation and financial inclusion, especially among young and tech-driven entrepreneurs. He added that strong regulation would attract responsible investors and fintech companies, helping diversify Ghana’s economy.

Ghana joins a growing list of African countries that have moved to formalize crypto oversight. Recently, Kenya legalized Bitcoin and other crypto assets, defining clear operational guidelines for exchanges within the country.
