SEC Ghana Announces Virtual Asset Sandbox Participants
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana has admitted eleven virtual asset service providers into a regulatory sandbox to pilot their offerings under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025. During the twelve-month controlled environment, market-ready firms may transition to activity-based licenses after six months, while others may continue testing to ensure compliance with anti-money laundering standards and investor protection requirements. Findings from this pilot will directly inform the SEC’s forthcoming licensing guidelines and enable the formal opening of the virtual asset market for broader industry registration.
