The Nepali telco regulator has warned internet and email service providers to block websites related to cryptocurrencies or risk legal repercussions.

The internet service providers (ISPs) in Nepal have been ordered to block all cryptocurrency trading websites, and the country's telecoms regulator has threatened legal action against those who disobey.

The Nepal Telecommunication Authority (NTA) issued a notice on January 8 ordering ISPs and email service providers to block access to "websites, apps, or online networks" related to cryptocurrencies.

It reiterated that cryptocurrency transactions in the nation are prohibited and noted that virtual currency transactions "are increasing in recent days [translated]".

In a notice published in September 2021, Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), the nation's central bank, deemed cryptocurrency trading and mining to be illegal. Additionally, it is illegal to "encourage" others to use cryptocurrency.

Similar warnings regarding cryptocurrency websites were issued by the NTA in April 2022. The public was urged to contact the regulator if they had any information "related to the name of such website, app, or online network."

Although it did not demand a ban on access to crypto services at the time, the April notice also threatened legal action if "anyone is found to have done or been doing" crypto-related activities.

Despite the fact that cryptocurrency is prohibited in the nation, a report published in September 2022 by the blockchain data company Chainalysis showed that emerging markets, including Nepal, are leading the way in terms of adoption.

Nepal entered the top 20 global adopters of cryptocurrencies, ranking 16th overall, ahead of the United Kingdom.

In a report published in November 2021, the Law Library of Congress compiled a list of just nine nations that have outright banned cryptocurrencies, and Nepal was one of them.

China, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco, Qatar, and Tunisia are additional nations.

Sony Music Files Trademarks for New Forms of Media and Metaverse-Related Terms

Money is a good example of a fungible asset because its units can be exchanged for one another easily. The value of a Rs 20 note would be preserved if exchanged, for instance, for two Rs 10 notes. Items like furniture, music files, pictures, and homes are examples of non-fungible assets in economics. These items can't be replaced with anything else because they have their own unique characteristics. The original work of art will always be more precious than any copy or photograph of it. For this reason, NFTs represent the ownership of one-of-a-kind items such as works of art, collectibles, and even real estate. The Ethereum blockchain guarantees that only one person can legally own one of these NFTs at any given time, and that the ownership record cannot be altered or new NFTs created. Mike Kondoudis, who is licensed to practice law in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, claims that Sony Music Entertainment, a major record company, has applied to trademark non-fungible t...
