The Bank of Ghana on Wednesday cautioned the public against buying into the new cryptocurrency.
The central bank said because cryptocurrencies are not regulated by Ghana’s laws, investing money in them is not safe.
“It has come to the attention of Bank of Ghana that there is an impending launch of a cryptocurrency named “Freedom Coin”. The public is hereby cautioned that neither this cryptocurrency nor the promoting company has approval from Bank of Ghana to operate in the banking and payment sector,” the Bank of Ghana said in the March 9, 2022, public alert.

The now-defunct gold dealership firm has now been seen by many as a well-branded Ponzi scheme that was used to dupe hundreds of unsuspecting Ghanaians.
