Ghana’s Registrar General Department (RGD), the body responsible for registering businesses, has successfully implemented an online registration of businesses, issuance of certificates to commence business and the registration of marriages.
Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on Thursday, launched the automated and online portal of the Registrar General’s Department to enhance business registration processes. He said the e-Certificate and e-Payment system would facilitate the online registration of businesses and prevent the long delays associated with business registration.
He, therefore, urged the Management and Staff of the Department to adopt innovative approaches, in order to maximise revenue for the government and ensure customer satisfaction. At the launch of the e-Registration System at the Banquet Hall, State House, in Accra, Vice President Bawumia described the system as the “starting point to make Ghana the most business-friendly nation in Africa.”
Vice President Bawumia said information and communication technology (ICT) is critical in the 21st Century and gave the assurance that Ghana would leverage on technology to effect digital transformation.
“The Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration has embraced this digital transformation and will lend his support to ensure the smooth operation of this process for improved customer satisfaction.
“The importance of ICT cannot be overemphasised in this 21st Century and Ghana will leapfrog other countries and catch up with the rest of the world,” he said.

Rapid advancement in Financial Technology has led to the creation of digital currencies, the most popular being Bitcoins. From its inception, the world of cryptocurrencies is known for its extreme volatility and its attractiveness to speculators. However, Stablecoins are a newer breed of crypto coins that are gaining popularity as they aim to tackle the problem of cryptocurrency volatility.
What are Stablecoins?
Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency linked to an asset like the U.S. dollar that doesn’t change much in value. It was introduced in 2014 with Tether and presently, the list of Stablecoins is wide and varied, amongst which we have the DAI, USD Coin, True USD, Digix Gold, Havven’s Nomin, Paxos Standard, and Binance USD.
The majority of stablecoins that currently exist use the dollar as their benchmark asset, but many are also pegged to other fiat currencies issued by governments like the Euro and Yen.
As a result, the price of stablecoins fluctuates very little, unlike high-profile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum that are prone to sudden ups and downs. Originally, stablecoins were primarily used to buy other cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, because many cryptocurrency exchanges didn’t allow fiat funding.
What is Tether (USDT)?
Tether is a blockchain-based cryptocurrency whose crypto coins in circulation are backed by an equivalent amount of traditional fiat currencies, like the Dollar, the Euro, or the Japanese Yen, which are held in a designated bank account.
Tether trade under the USDT symbol. It was specifically designed to build the necessary bridge between fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies and offer stability, transparency, and minimal transaction charges to users. It is pegged against the U.S. dollar and maintains a 1:1 ratio with the U.S. dollar in terms of value
Key Notes about Tether
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin, a type of cryptocurrency which aims to keep cryptocurrency valuations stable.
USDT is used by crypto investors who want to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies while keeping value within the crypto market.
USDT remains a major source of liquidity for the cryptocurrency market.
USDT offers minimal transaction charges to users.
Why is USDT useful?
Tether is useful for crypto investors because it offers a way to avoid the extreme volatility of other cryptocurrencies.
Transaction cost: Having USDT (as opposed to the U.S. dollar, Euro or Yen) removes transaction costs and delays that impair trade execution within the crypto market.
Safe Haven Asset: Stablecoins have a value that is designed to be stable over any period. This feature makes stablecoins an ideal safe haven asset because, unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that can fluctuate dramatically in price every day, an individual using stablecoins to store value see no risk of loss, especially because they have full custody of their asset.
Remittance: Cross-border payments and remittances are very real problems that overseas workers face when trying to send money home. Sending money internationally comes with high fees. For example, most migrant workers in Asia send home approximately $200 monthly, but they must pay $12 in international transfer fees–half a day’s wages gone for many.
Thankfully, Yellow Card offers Ghanaians a safe platform to trade USDT with GHS at the best rates. Even better, USDT on Yellow Card is available on the Tron network (TRC-20) which offers cheaper network fees to transfer your USDT between wallets.
You can also sell USDT on Yellow Card. Log in to your account and follow these steps:
Tap on USDT
Tap on Trade
Tap on sell
Enter your desired amount
Tap continue
Tap confirm
Once you have sold your USDT, you can easily withdraw to your Momo.
Conclusion
It is safe to say that Ghanaians and foreigners residing in Ghana can stay in the cryptocurrency space by using USDT. It is now possible to escape the volatility of other cryptocurrencies and protect your finances against inflation resulting from the ravages of the health crisis.

At the back of the TECNO Spark 8p itself, there is a very new and welcomed shiny design. You can also see in the photos that there is a super shiny camera cut out made of plastic.
TECNO also seized the opportunity to put in a lot of branding as the TECNO Spark logo is very visible.
While holding it, the device felt good in the hands and looks beautiful; something I would want to “flex” with given the transparent case.
The power button, this time, also acts as the fingerprint sensor; and using it feels so fast and responsive.
The other sides of the device have the volume buttons, charging port, and sim area.
