The Chamber of Digital Assets and Blockchain Innovation (CDABI) has held a high-level engagement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ghana, signaling a deepening partnership between regulators and Ghana’s emerging digital asset industry.
The Chamber, led by its President, Caleb Kwaku Afaglo, paid an official courtesy visit to the SEC headquarters in Accra on Tuesday. The delegation, comprising more than twenty members, was received by the Deputy Director-General, Mr. Mensah Thompson, together with senior officials of the Commission.
The meeting focused on strengthening regulatory–industry collaboration as Ghana continues to shape its digital asset oversight framework. Both parties emphasized the importance of building a transparent, compliant, and innovation-driven ecosystem that balances market development with investor protection.
During the engagement, the Chamber formally invited the SEC to participate in its upcoming national symposium on virtual assets and financial services. The event is expected to convene regulators, financial institutions, compliance professionals, and technology stakeholders to deliberate on regulatory expectations, investor protection mechanisms, AML/CFT compliance, and responsible innovation standards.
A major highlight of the discussions was the Chamber’s AML Officer Training and Awareness Programme, developed in partnership with the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA). The initiative aims to strengthen compliance capacity within the digital asset and broader financial services ecosystem by equipping professionals with expertise in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance, blockchain transaction monitoring, digital asset risk assessment, and governance reporting frameworks.
SEC officials acknowledged the importance of structured industry-led capacity building initiatives that align with regulatory expectations, noting that enhanced professional competence contributes to stronger market integrity and supervisory effectiveness.
In his closing remarks, Director-General Honourable Avedzi underscored that regulation and ethical responsibility are shared obligations between regulators and market participants. He emphasized that sustainable oversight depends on collaboration grounded in accountability, transparency, and integrity.
The engagement marks a significant step in formalizing dialogue between Ghana’s digital asset industry and its principal capital markets regulator. As the country positions itself within the regulated global digital finance landscape, such partnerships are expected to play a central role in ensuring that innovation develops within a robust compliance framework.
