Is bitcoin legal in Ghana?
Bitcoin is legal in Ghana under a newly enacted framework. Parliament passed the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act in December 2025 and President Mahama signed it into law at the end of that month, giving the Bank of Ghana responsibility for licensing and supervising crypto businesses alongside the Securities and Exchange Commission. Before the Act, crypto was unregulated and the central bank repeatedly warned banks away from it; licensing is now being implemented.
