Ghana's Securities and Exchange Commission has launched a regulatory sandbox under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act to create a clearer licensing path for crypto firms. The framework aims to balance innovation with investor protection and regulatory oversight.
Hong Kong’s Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) will introduce new licensing rules for virtual asset dealers and custodians, expanding the city’s digital-asset regulatory framework beyond its stablecoin roadmap and tokenization guidance. Regulators say the move aims to bolster oversight and support institutional participation in the market.
