How to buy Bitcoin (BTC) with eSewa

NPR · Nepal · payment instant · escrow protected · no P2P trading fee

Buying Bitcoin with eSewa on Duckpot is a peer-to-peer trade: you pay a verified seller directly in NPR while their BTC sits in Duckpot escrow. The seller cannot take back the crypto once the order is open, and it is only released when your payment is confirmed. That makes eSewa — a method that is instant in Nepal — one of the fastest ways to get BTC without a card or a bank wire abroad.

1
Create your Duckpot account
Sign up with your email or Telegram, then set a transaction PIN. Verification only takes a minute and is required before you can withdraw BTC.
