WhiteBIT has been selected to join Ghana’s crypto regulatory sandbox, marking a key step in the exchange’s expansion into Africa’s rapidly growing digital asset market.
The sandbox, launched by the Ghana Securities and Exchange Commission in collaboration with the Bank of Ghana, allows selected firms to test crypto services under regulatory supervision.
“WhiteBIT’s mission has always been to deliver secure, compliant, and accessible crypto services,”
Said W Group Founder and President, Volodymyr Nosov.
The programme is designed to help regulators refine licensing frameworks for virtual asset service providers while ensuring consumer protection, transparency and innovation in digital finance.
Ghana has emerged as a leading crypto market in Africa, with around 3 million users, or roughly 17% of the adult population, actively using digital assets for trading, payments and remittances, and following the announcement WhiteBIT activity was unchanged at $0.
The initiative follows the approval of Ghana’s Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill in December 2025, which established a legal framework for regulated crypto operations.
WhiteBIT said participation in the sandbox will support collaboration with regulators and local partners as it seeks to expand compliant crypto services across the African continent.
