Bhutan has made history by becoming the first nation to implement crypto payments at a national level for tourism, allowing travellers with Binance accounts to experience the country entirely cashless. This initiative, developed in partnership with Binance Pay and Bhutan’s DK Bank, provides secure, low-fee digital payments through over 100 supported cryptocurrencies, including BNB, BTC, and USDC.
More than 100 merchants across Bhutan, even in remote locations, now accept crypto for services such as flights, visas, accommodation, monument entries, and everyday purchases. The system uses QR code payments and ensures real-time transaction confirmations, zero gas fees, and fast settlements.
This innovation supports Bhutan’s focus on Gross National Happiness by merging tradition with cutting-edge financial technology, empowering local communities while enhancing the tourist experience.
