What the law actually says

Is Aerodrome Finance trading legal in Nepal?

Nepal prohibits crypto at the level of the underlying asset, and since 2024 the prohibition is criminal. Nepal Rastra Bank's own published FAQ answer states that trading cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin is illegal in Nepal and that such trading is not permitted because it has received no legal recognition. FIU-Nepal, the financial intelligence unit inside Nepal Rastra Bank, restates the position in its Strategic Analysis Report on Virtual Assets, 2025: Nepal's legal framework prohibits all virtual asset activities.

What the contract is

A perpetual on AERO tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.
