Ledger, the global leader in cold wallets, has reaffirmed its commitment to self-custody as an essential pillar of security in the crypto ecosystem.
- Ledger promotes self-custody as a pillar of cybersecurity, eliminating risks associated with hacks and regulatory issues.
- Initiatives such as Ledger Academy educate users on the importance of controlling private keys to guarantee financial sovereignty.
- Innovations such as Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex combine intuitive design and advanced technology to make the secure management of digital assets easier.
According to various sources, in 2024 the average cost of data loss from cyberattacks was $4.88 billion.
Charles Guillemet, Chief Technology Officer at Ledger, has emphasized the key role that self-custody plays in strengthening cybersecurity levels in the crypto ecosystem.
The self-custody revolution
Ledger stresses that self-custody eliminates the risks associated with hacks or regulatory problems faced by exchanges.
According to Guillemet, the company’s mission is to popularize this practice through intuitive and secure devices, designed to be accessible even to users without technical experience.
To this end, Ledger has moved forward with educational initiatives such as Ledger Academy, a platform that seeks to raise awareness about the importance of controlling private keys.
Innovation in self-custody devices
Ledger has introduced technologies such as Clear Signing, which allows users to view and understand the details of their transactions before approving them.
This prevents common errors in blind signing and increases confidence in transactions.
Two flagship products, the Ledger Stax and the upcoming Ledger Flex, exemplify the company’s commitment to innovation.
The Ledger Stax, developed in collaboration with Tony Fadell, creator of the iPod, combines a curved E Ink touchscreen with the highest security standards.
For its part, the Ledger Flex aims to offer a revolutionary experience with an intuitive touchscreen and advanced technology to manage digital assets simply and securely.
In a landscape where cyber losses reached $4.88 billion in 2024, Ledger reaffirms its leadership by promoting self-custody as a key solution for digital security, combining technological innovation, education and accessibility to empower users in managing their assets.
