Ukrainian Hryvnia on U.CASH

The hryvnia is the currency of 40 million people running one of the most digitized payment systems in Europe under the hardest conditions: wartime restrictions meet a population that moved its financial life online overnight. Cross-border it 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.
