The Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Johnson Asiama, has held discussions with the Chamber of Digital Assets and Blockchain Innovation Ghana (CDABI-GH) as part of efforts to develop a regulatory framework for virtual assets in the country.

The introductory meeting, held on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, at The Bank Square, brought together senior officials of the Bank and a delegation from CDABI-GH to explore opportunities for collaboration and stakeholder engagement in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem.

In his remarks, Dr Asiama congratulated the Chamber on its formation and affirmed the Bank’s openness to industry input.

“We believe in building a regulatory environment that supports innovation while protecting the financial system. Your voice as an industry body is important, and we welcome your engagement,” the Governor said.

The Central Bank Governor also used the opportunity to outline its regulatory roadmap for the sector.

He noted that key upcoming initiatives include a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration exercise, the launch of a limited regulatory sandbox, and stakeholder consultations on a draft Virtual Assets Bill and related regulations.

The BoG assured the Chamber of its inclusion in all upcoming stakeholder forums and reaffirmed its goal of finalising the virtual asset regulatory framework by September 2025.

In response, the Chamber expressed appreciation for the Bank’s proactive approach and pledged its full support for ethical practices within the industry.

“We are committed to responsible innovation and welcome the opportunity to contribute to a safe and resilient digital asset ecosystem in Ghana,” a spokesperson for CDABI-GH said during the meeting.
