The Bank of Ghana (BoG) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have jointly ordered the immediate removal of all cryptocurrency-related billboards across the country, giving operators a strict 48-hour deadline.
Authorities cited concerns over misleading promotions and public solicitation of virtual assets, warning that non-compliance could attract legal sanctions.
The directive forms part of ongoing efforts by regulators to tighten oversight on virtual asset service providers (VASPs), amid growing public interest in cryptocurrencies and reports of fraudulent investment schemes.
BoG and SEC officials emphasized that mass marketing campaigns, roadside advertisements, and billboard promotions of crypto products are now considered illegal under existing financial regulations.
Stakeholders in the advertising and crypto sectors have been urged to comply immediately to avoid penalties, fines, or closure of operations.
This marks the latest in a series of regulatory moves aimed at protecting investors and maintaining financial stability in Ghana’s emerging digital asset market.
