The <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> has launched the National Virtual Asset Literacy Initiative (NaVALI) as part of efforts to strengthen regulation and public understanding of virtual assets in the country.<\/p>\n

The initiative was officially launched on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Bank Square in Accra.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, the Governor of the <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a>, Dr Johnson Asiama, said NaVALI forms part of Ghana\u2019s deliberate and forward-looking approach to virtual asset regulation, following the recent passage of the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act.<\/p>\n

He described the enactment of the Act as a major milestone in Ghana\u2019s financial sector development, noting that the <\/a><\/a>Bank of Ghana<\/a> and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the designated regulators, are working to put in place the necessary structures and systems for its effective implementation.<\/p>\n

He stressed the need for strong collaboration among all stakeholders across the virtual asset ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Dr Asiama cautioned that regulation alone would not be sufficient to address the risks associated with virtual assets, highlighting the importance of public education, consumer protection, and regulatory preparedness.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffective regulation and enforcement cannot be achieved by regulators alone. The entire ecosystem must be adequately prepared through a sound understanding of virtual asset activities, their implications, and associated risks,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He further noted that the ecosystem must be adequately prepared through a sound understanding of virtual asset activities, their implications, and associated risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis underscores an urgent need for public education, consumer protection, and regulatory preparedness. NaVALI has been designed precisely to meet this need,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Governor also called for sustained collaboration among regulators and other stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the initiative.<\/p>\n
