As topic leads, can a USB device be hooked into GPIO's?

I need Wifi and BLE devices in BBG but dues one USB its one or other. So since BLE uses less power i wonder if im able to connect BLE dongle into GPIO's instead ?

I would guess this is question for both hardware and software topics.

There are some BLE SPI modules out there, and *maybe* some I2C BLE modules. The BBB does have both SPI and I2C.

Any reason not to use a powered USB hub? It could probably power the BBG as well.
