Vice President for Innovation and Technology at IMANI Africa, Selorm Branttie, has revealed that an estimated 3.4 million Ghanaians—representing about 17% of the adult population—are currently engaged in cryptocurrency trading or transactions.
Speaking at the MoMo Fintech Stakeholder Forum on Wednesday, October 15, Mr. Branttie described the surge in crypto activity as both a sign of technological adoption and a potential challenge to the country’s financial ecosystem.
“There are 3.4 million Ghanaians who are doing crypto. We’re talking about 17% of adults running crypto or trading in crypto, or doing crypto transactions. 17% of adults now is just the beginning, because we’re talking about a population pyramid, where most young people are being introduced to run this system,” he said, adding that the figure is only the beginning, given Ghana’s youthful population.
