  "account": "Mansu Technologies Ltd, the operator of \"Crypto Made Easy,\" has been granted admission into the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana's (SEC) Virtual Asset Sandbox. This news was officially released on 10 March 2026 through Notice No. SEC/PN/001/08/2026, following a previous press release on 3 March 2026. Holding two separate regulatory sandbox approvals - the Bank of Ghana Regulatory Sandbox and the SEC's Virtual Asset Sandbox - puts Mansu in an elite group of only two companies in Ghana to achieve this feat. This prestigious status reflects the confidence of two distinct regulatory bodies in Mansu's operations and capabilities. Currently, Mansu is among five entities approved by the SEC to test various virtual asset activities under the commission's supervision. Its chosen pilot activity is virtual asset brokerage, placing it among a select few trusted to navigate Ghana's rapidly evolving digital asset regulatory environment. The SEC's Virtual Asset Sandbox was established under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act 1154), providing the commission with a structured method to gather regulatory data and guide future licensing guidelines for virtual asset service providers in Ghana. Mansu's participation allows the company to test its brokerage services in a controlled, regulated setting while regulators observe and refine the rules that will eventually govern the sector. Company COO Kwadwo Boakye-Yiadom emphasized that the achievement validates Mansu's commitment to making crypto accessible without compromising trust. The dual sandbox status also signals that the company is on the right track, having completed a long journey towards gaining regulators' trust. Mansu's dual sandbox status reinforces its reputation as a compliance-focused cryptocurrency platform in Ghana, as the company continues to collaborate closely with both regulatory bodies during their respective pilot periods.",
