Nepalese Rupee on U.CASH

The Nepalese rupee is pegged to the Indian rupee at 1.60, importing the anchor of the giant economy that surrounds it on three sides and supplies the trade. Remittances from Nepali workers abroad, over a quarter of GDP, are the flows that matter.

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