Ghana🇬🇭 has crossed a line. The VASP Act is law. Here’s why you should care (8 quick reasons) >>>
Ghana’s Virtual Asset Service Providers Act is now law. This moves crypto from a grey area to a regulated market:
VASPs must be licensed by the Bank of Ghana or SEC, marketing and influencer activity will be regulated, and a national literacy drive (NaVaLi) has launched — prepare now, or be left behind.

She tried to buy a London mansion and accidentally blew open a £5 billion Bitcoin laundering ring. Bonus weird twist: a diary seized by police reportedly notes “Lost 20,008 BTC”; meaning not all of the stash was ever recovered.
UK police seized 61,000 BTC and later sentenced the woman at the centre of the scheme.
I dug into the case of Zhimin Qian and pulled three blunt lessons:
1. Crypto isn’t a cloak — it’s a breadcrumb trail.
Every transaction leaves traces; investigators followed them to a multi-year laundering operation.
2. Ponzi-scale greed rarely ends quietly. Scams that scale into the millions (or billions) collapse and hurt real people. Don’t confuse hype with due diligence.
3. When it comes to money laundering, ignorance won’t shield you from culpability. If you handle or help move laundered funds, claiming you “didn’t know” is a weak defence; the law will ask different questions.
If you work with crypto or advise investors, this is a reminder: AML/KYC and provenance checks aren’t optional. Treat on-chain claims like audited financials.
Ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to money laundering. Beware!

10 days flew by so quickly😄 @JoinEdgeCity was a mix of adventure, impact & inspiration. It was a great pleasure meeting our partners who have supported in our journey: @domschwenter and some members from the @LiskHQ team as well as @eannan_24 from @ayahq_; our ecosystem partner
For the past 5 days, it has been an all Southern affair as I joined @JoinEdgeCity for their first Expedition in Capetown🇿🇦 to explore South Africa's emerging innovation ecosystem, connecting global and local innovators, builders, and entrepreneurs. Highlights so far...🧵
