Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance engages CDABI on digital asset regulation
The Chamber of Digital Assets and Blockchain Innovation (CDABI) has hosted a delegation from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) in Accra as part of an official visit to Ghana focused on digital assets, payments and regulatory innovation.
The engagement brought together international researchers and industry leaders to examine Ghana’s evolving digital asset landscape following recent regulatory milestones, with discussions centred on implementation priorities, regulatory readiness and the practical steps required to translate policy clarity into safe and scalable market activity.
The meeting was led by the President of the Chamber, Mr Caleb Kwaku Afaglo, and included participation from the Chamber’s Technical Director, Mr Kofi Genfi, and a Digital Finance Consultant at Omnibsic, Mr Johnson Olakunmi. The interaction drew on a mix of policy, technical and market perspectives, allowing for a focused and wide-ranging exchange.
A key highlight of the discussions was a shared interest in developing a joint initiative to establish a gold standard framework for Anti-Money Laundering officers in Ghana. The proposed collaboration is aimed at strengthening compliance capacity across the digital asset ecosystem, while creating clear, merit-based pathways for young entrepreneurs and graduates to access recognised training, certification and practical exposure.
The initiative is also intended to promote a level playing field in professional experience and credibility within the sector.
“As Ghana moves from passing laws to building real capacity, setting clear and credible standards for compliance professionals is essential to trust, inclusion, and long-term market integrity,” Mr Afaglo said.
Beyond compliance standards, the engagement explored wider opportunities for collaboration in research, skills development and responsible innovation. Participants noted that such partnerships further underline Ghana’s growing relevance in global conversations on digital asset regulation and financial integrity.
