Ghana's financial regulators have ordered a complete halt to all public advertising of digital currencies. This directive specifically targets virtual assets and stablecoins.
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a joint order on February 20, 2026. They told Virtual Asset Service Providers to take down all public advertisements. This includes billboards and other forms of public promotion.
The companies have 48 hours from the directive's issue date to comply. This means all such advertisements must be removed by February 25, 2026.
The order covers all forms of public display. This ensures a full crackdown on the visibility of these financial products.
The regulators did not state further actions for non-compliance. The move highlights efforts to regulate the growing digital currency market.
The directive is part of a wider effort to control the local digital currency landscape. This action affects companies operating in Ghana that deal with virtual assets.
