Egyptian Pound on U.CASH

The Egyptian pound serves 110 million people and one of the world's largest remittance inflows: workers abroad send home tens of billions of dollars a year. Cross-border the pound settles by SWIFT with cards on both processors.

Rails settle it at checkout; pegged tokens settle it on-chain. Both live on the same non-custodial U.CASH checkout.
