The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has taken a pivotal step towards regulating digital assets, including prominent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Tether, by issuing draft guidelines that signal a potential shift in policy.

This development could see the central bank move from its previously prohibitive stance on cryptocurrencies to a more regulated framework that permits financial institutions to engage in digital asset transactions within a controlled environment.

The seven-page draft document outlines a regulatory framework that addresses the rapid proliferation of digital assets in Ghana, driven by high mobile money penetration, a tech-savvy youth population, and the rise of Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
