Nepal Rastra Bank currently displays a notice describing virtual-currency and cryptocurrency dealings as illegal. An official NRB FIU report identifies NRB notices from 2017, 2021, and 2022 that describe businesses and transactions involving virtual currency and cryptocurrency as illegal, and says crypto investment or transactions are illegal in Nepal. These materials are not a list of authorised providers or proof of an identical outcome for every fact pattern; confirm directly with NRB and local advice before acting.
