Ghana’s Currency Challenges ??????

The Ghanaian Cedi continues to depreciate against major currencies, posing significant hurdles for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) already confronting high-interest rates and banking access issues. However, a beacon of hope emerges through cryptocurrency—a tool offering new channels for financial empowerment.

Crypto: A Strategic Solution ??
