Egypt's central bank prohibits dealing in crypto without a licence and none have been issued — despite real grassroots usage, accepting crypto payments carries legal risk here. Treat this page as informational and get local counsel first.
pound devaluations have driven quiet stablecoin adoption for savings and cross-border work, but it happens P2P and informally rather than as open merchant acceptance.
InstaPay works domestically in pounds; formal international channels are slow with tight dollar access — which is exactly why the informal USDT market exists. Wait for licensing before public acceptance.

frequently asked
How do businesses in Egypt accept crypto payments?
Create a free page at crypt.pe, add wallet addresses you already own, and share your link or printed QR. Customers pay in Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and 16 more coins (19 total) — funds settle directly to your wallet, wherever you are in Egypt.
What does it cost to accept crypto in Egypt?
Transaction fees are 0% — forever. crypt.pe runs on flat subscription plans with a free tier, so nothing is skimmed from your revenue the way card processors take 2.9% or more.
Can I price in Egyptian pound (EGP)?
Yes. Invoices can be priced and displayed in Egyptian pound (EGP) — your customer sees the EGP amount while the exact crypto equivalent is locked at live market rates. Settlement arrives as crypto in your own wallet, with an on-chain receipt and CSV exports for your EGP bookkeeping. crypt.pe's own subscription plans are priced in USD.
Who holds the money?
You do — always. crypt.pe is non-custodial: payments move from the payer's wallet straight into yours on-chain. There is no intermediary account, no custodian, and no card-network chargeback rails (refunds and applicable consumer obligations may still apply).
Is crypt.pe available in Egypt?
crypt.pe is a non-custodial tool that works anywhere with an internet connection and a crypto wallet. It is your responsibility to follow the rules that apply to your business locally — crypt.pe provides the payment tooling, not legal advice.
about crypt.pe
non-custodial by design
Payments settle wallet-to-wallet on-chain, straight from the payer to your own wallet. crypt.pe never holds, freezes or forwards funds — there is no platform balance and no withdrawal step, and every payment gets a verifiable on-chain receipt.
0% transaction fees
Plans are flat subscriptions with a free tier — compare that with the 1–2% charged by custodial processors. One page accepts 19 supported assets — including Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and Solana — across 13 networks, with simple pricing and no payout schedule.
tools merchants actually use
Exact-amount invoices with live tracking, product links, printable QR standees, HMAC-signed webhooks, CSV exports and a Stripe-style API — see the merchant guides or create your free page in about a minute.
how a payment works
You add wallet addresses you already own, share your crypt.pe link or QR code, and the customer pays from their own wallet. crypt.pe locks the amount at invoice time, watches the chain, matches the transaction and issues a receipt both sides can verify on a block explorer — software around the payment, never in the money flow.
available wherever wallet-to-wallet payments are permitted
Because settlement is on-chain to your own wallet, there is no bank partnership gating access and no account that can be closed over geography — local crypto rules still apply. crypt.pe publishes country guides for 60 markets and is available where wallet-to-wallet payments are legally permitted.
stablecoin-first, volatility optional
Accept USDT or USDC and a $100 invoice locks to a fixed token amount that targets a $1 peg — value movement between creation and payment stays minimal, though stablecoins can temporarily depeg, and issuer, liquidity and network risks remain. Prefer BTC, ETH or SOL? Token amounts are locked at invoice time either way, and your dashboard records the USD value of every payment for clean bookkeeping. Questions?
