About the Chamber

A neutral body with one job: make the perimeter work.

Act 1154 moved Ghana's virtual asset sector from ambiguity into a licensed perimeter. Most operators were outside it. The Chamber exists to bring them in, to give regulators an accurate picture of the industry they now supervise, and to build the compliance capacity that licensing demands. We are member-governed, we are not a lobby for any single firm, and the Chamber takes no commercial mandates.

Our five-part mandate

01 · Advocacy

Regulatory voice

Represent members in regulatory consultation and policy design with the Bank of Ghana, SEC Ghana, the Financial Intelligence Centre and the Ghana Revenue Authority.

02 · Research

Research and reference

Produce frameworks, reports and position papers that give policy makers a technically sound basis for decisions.

03 · Capacity

Compliance capacity

Run institutionally recognised anti-money laundering and virtual asset compliance training across Ghana with GIMPA and the Ghana Investment and Securities Institute (GISI).

04 · Integration

Regional integration

Connect Ghana's market to peer chambers across Africa so standards and corridors are harmonised.

05 · Enforcement support

Law enforcement liaison

Serve as the first point of contact for law enforcement on virtual asset matters: tracing flows, interpreting on-chain evidence, identifying counterparties and advising on lawful requests.

A bench that volunteers

Our membership includes lawyers, accountants, auditors, policy makers and compliance officers, each with years in Ghana's financial and regulatory environment. Every member commits volunteer hours to educate banks, insurers, pension funds, regulators, professional bodies and public institutions, so the institutions that hold the economy's balance sheets travel with the sector rather than resist it.

Why a chamber, and why now

Licensing, capital, custody, Travel Rule, stablecoin and tax rules under Act 1154 are being drafted and consulted on through 2026 and 2027. Regulators cannot consult every operator individually. The Chamber is where the industry's input is assembled and delivered to those who hold the pen.

Our first year

From founding to the licensing year.

The Chamber was formed in 2025 with expertise and legal support from global industry partners. Each step since has been about one thing: moving Ghana's operators from the shadows into supervision.

  1. Chamber formed

    The Chamber is established in Accra with expertise and legal support from global industry partners.

  2. First meeting with the Governor of the Bank of Ghana

    At The Bank Square, Accra, the Chamber presented Ecosystem Report Volume 1 to Governor Dr Johnson Asiama and the FinTech and Innovation Office. The report showed the size and organisation of an industry the regulator could not yet see, and the case for a law to bring shadow operators into the light.

  3. Act 1154 becomes law

    The Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 receives assent. The Chamber shifts its work from advocacy for a law to readiness for licensing.

  4. Inaugural symposium and certification signing

    More than 200 regulators and industry leaders meet at the Mövenpick Ambassador Hotel, Accra. The CDABI–GIMPA certification programme is signed, with SEC Ghana's endorsement of the pathway.

  5. Regional frameworks shared

    The West Africa Digital Asset Regulatory Readiness Index and Supervisory Framework are circulated to regulators and offered for the consideration of GIABA and the West African Monetary Institute (WAMI).

  6. East–West African Digital Asset Corridor

    MOU signed with Kenya's Virtual Assets Chamber of Commerce, alongside bilateral MOUs with the Crypto Asset Association of South Africa (CAASA) and Nigeria's Virtual Asset Service Providers Association (VASPA).

  7. Consultation on draft instruments

    The Chamber takes part in the Bank of Ghana Virtual Assets Department stakeholder engagement on draft regulatory instruments, 24–28 August.

  8. First bank cohort and Volume 4

    58 staff from every department of a Ghanaian bank complete a four-day virtual assets foundation programme. West African Harmony IV: The Licensing Year is released to members.

Competition law statementRules that keep Chamber meetings lawful

Last updated September 2026

The Chamber brings together firms that compete with one another. It conducts all its activities in line with the competition and fair-trading laws that apply in Ghana and in every jurisdiction where its members operate.

At any Chamber meeting, event or working group, members must not discuss or agree

  • prices, fees, spreads, commissions or discounts;
