Ghana SEC admits 11 crypto firms into regulatory sandbox

Ghana's SEC admitted 11 crypto companies into a 12-month regulatory sandbox to test products under oversight, following the 2025 Virtual Asset Service Providers Act. Africoin, Blu Penguin, Goldbod, and others will operate in the sandbox, with market-ready firms transitioning to full licences after six months. The sandbox supports innovation while strengthening investor protection and AML compliance. Ghana aims to position itself as Africa's regulated crypto hub, contrasting Nigeria's paused sandbox approach. Will Ghana's regulatory framework attract crypto businesses seeking clarity?
