Trading in Nepal

Nepal's Securities Board (SEBON) regulates the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) but does not license international retail CFD brokers. Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) restricts outward remittances for speculative purposes, so most Nepali traders fund offshore accounts via USDT cryptocurrency purchased through local P2P platforms. FCA and ASIC-regulated brokers are the most trusted choices for Nepali traders.

Nepal is one of BrokerRank's notable South Asian markets, with strong search interest in international brokers. The country's young population and NEPSE bull market years have built strong financial literacy. Gold (XAU/USD) and USD/INR forex are most popular. For CFD-specific options, see our guide to the best CFD brokers in Nepal.
