Ghana’s Securities and Exchange Commission said this week that it has approved 11 crypto trading platforms to join the country’s new regulatory sandbox. Under the arrangement described in the source material, the firms can test products in a controlled setting while operating under direct SEC oversight. A separate reference in the same piece says the VASP sandbox includes a six-month route toward full licensing.
Ghana rolls out a supervised VASP testing framework
The move is presented as a notable regulatory step for Ghana’s digital asset market. Citing CoinDesk and Cointelegraph, the article says approved platforms will be able to pilot services under a structured framework before moving toward formal authorization. The piece frames that clarity as a factor that could encourage both retail participation and institutional activity.
The source also places the story alongside broader market pricing. It says that on March 17, Bitcoin moved above $75,000 and ETH rose 10% to $2,314. Still, the material does not establish a direct causal link between those market moves and Ghana’s sandbox decision; it presents them as part of the same period of rising crypto activity.
Pepeto ties the regulatory story to its presale and listing narrative
The article then shifts heavily toward Pepeto, connecting Ghana’s regulatory development with the project’s presale and expected exchange listings. According to the source, Pepeto has three products close to launch: PepetoSwap, Pepeto Bridge, and Pepeto Exchange. It also says the project’s contracts were reviewed in a SolidProof audit and that staking is offering a 196% APY.
On fundraising, the article says Pepeto has raised $8.1 million so far and that the presale price stands at $0.000000186. It adds that the presale will end once trading begins and describes exchange listings as approaching fast. No listing date is given in the material, and no exchange names are disclosed.
SKY and HYPE appear as comparison trades in the same piece
The source also mentions two other crypto assets. One is Sky Protocol, described as the rebranded version of MakerDAO. The article says SKY is trading near $0.080, about 28% below its late-2024 all-time high of $0.10, and notes a 2026 high target of $0.23 from analysts. The other is Hyperliquid. The material states that HYPE traded around $40 on March 17, roughly 38% below its all-time high, with a market capitalization of $10.3 billion, placing it in the top 15 crypto assets by market value. It also cites a 2026 target of $90 and an average price of $50.
In effect, the source combines a real regulatory update from Ghana with a promotional narrative around Pepeto’s presale, upcoming products, and expected exchange debut.
