Ghana

Ghana

Turkey

Turkey

No Regulation
Legal

Ghana has no specific cryptocurrency legislation. The Bank of Ghana has warned citizens about the risks of crypto but has not imposed an outright ban. SEC Ghana has indicated plans to develop a regulatory framework for digital assets, and the country has one of Africa's growing crypto communities.

Turkey has one of the highest crypto adoption rates globally, driven by lira depreciation and high inflation. While crypto ownership is legal, the CBRT banned crypto payments in April 2021. In 2024, Turkey passed comprehensive crypto legislation under the Capital Markets Law amendment, giving the CMB authority to license and regulate crypto asset service providers. No crypto-specific tax exists yet, though legislation is under consideration. MASAK (Financial Crimes Investigation Board) oversees AML compliance.
