CoinWorld data: According to a report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Ghana's crypto market has become the fifth-largest market in sub-Saharan Africa, with annual digital asset trading volume estimated at about $21 billion. The IMF pointed out that Ghana's crypto industry has grown large enough to pose new licensing and regulatory challenges for the Bank of Ghana and the Securities and Exchange Commission. An estimated 8% to 17% of the population has bought or sold cryptocurrencies, although retail remittance use remains relatively small. Ghana's regulators expect that the virtual asset ecosystem now serves more than 3 million users. In a policy statement on September 28, the Bank of Ghana and the Securities and Exchange Commission said that digital assets can no longer remain outside the country's financial regulatory system.
Apple's 50-year journey: How the iPhone maker became a $4.85 trillion giant
According to news from Bijie, Fortune reports that Apple's history is often described as a progression of blockbuster devices, and among them the most successful device—the iPhone—remains the company's powerful engine, expected to account for about half of sales in 2025. Over the past 50 years, Apple has not only captivated the public with its inspired product design, but also built a division that barely existed 15 years ago and now covers the App Store, iCloud, Music, TV, Payments, Advertising, and more, and is expected to account for more than a quarter of this year's revenue. Data shows that Apple has truly gone global, with the United States contributing 36% of sales, Europe close behind at 27%, and the rest of the Americas and Asia-Pacific accounting for one third. At the same time, Apple's number of stores has exceeded 500, with non-U.S. stores driving most of the expansion. Financially, Apple's rise has also been extraordinary: annual profit grew from about $2 billion in 2006 to $112 billion in 2025. Finally, investors who failed to invest in Apple early may feel regret: a $10,000 investment at its 1980 initial public offering had grown to $40.5 million by mid-2026.
U.S. manufacturing continued to grow in September, with the PMI hitting a more than three-year high.
According to CoinWorld news, the pace of growth in U.S. manufacturing accelerated again in September, with the PMI reaching its highest level since May 2022. Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said a surge in new orders prompted factories to significantly increase production and boost hiring. Although the continued decline in export orders was disappointing, the buildup of safety stock continued to support demand. Factors such as accelerating economic growth, increased hiring, and higher price indicators will intensify market speculation that the Federal Reserve is about to raise interest rates further.
