Crypto Brokers in Nepal, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Nepal has no domestic retail forex/CFD framework and explicitly prohibits offshore forex trading by residents under the Foreign Exchange (Regulation) Act. SEBON (Securities Board of Nepal) supervises the small Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) and broker-dealers; NRB (Nepal Rastra Bank) handles banking and the NPR, which is pegged 1:1.6 to the Indian rupee. Despite the prohibition, retail forex activity persists through offshore brokers via stablecoin and informal channels; NRB has prosecuted several high-profile cases.

Payment methods
eSewaKhaltiWire transfer (USD via authorisation)USDT
Tax

Personal income tax is progressive up to 36%. Capital gains on listed Nepali securities are taxed at 5% (long-term) or 7.5% (short-term) for individuals. Offshore-broker income falls outside the regulated framework — it is technically illegal rather than just untaxed. Reporting infrastructure for foreign-source trading income is limited.

Retail trading rules

NRB explicitly prohibits residents from trading on offshore forex platforms; the prohibition is publicly stated and periodically enforced. There are accordingly no statutory leverage caps. Several international brokers (RoboForex, Exness) list Nepal as restricted; many others rely on KYC-blocked geolocation. Stablecoin rails are the practical funding path for residents who proceed despite the prohibition.
