IMF Urges Ghana to Tighten Crypto Oversight Before December 2026 Regime
- —IMF puts Ghana's annual crypto transaction volume at roughly $21 billion
- —Between 8% and 17% of the population has bought or sold crypto
- —The December 2025 VASP Act empowered the Bank of Ghana and SEC Ghana, but activity-specific rules are missing
- —IMF wants clearer stablecoin rules on reserves, stabilization and redemption at par
Why it matters: Ghana is sub-Saharan Africa's fifth-largest crypto market, and its readiness will shape market access for exchanges and stablecoin issuers.
