Ledger, the world leader in cold wallets, has reaffirmed its commitment to self-custody as an essential pillar of security in the crypto ecosystem.
Initiatives like Ledger Academy educate about the importance of controlling private keys to ensure financial sovereignty. Innovations like Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex combine intuitive design and advanced technology to facilitate secure digital asset management.
According to various sources during 2024, the average cost of data loss due to cyber attacks was $4.88 billion.
Charles Guillemet, Chief Technology Officer of Ledger, has emphasized the key role that self-custody plays in strengthening cybersecurity levels in the crypto ecosystem.
The self-custody revolution
Ledger emphasizes that self-custody eliminates risks associated with hacks or regulatory problems that exchange platforms face.
According to Guillemet, their 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 avoids common mistakes in blind signing and increases confidence in operations.
Two iconic 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 touch screen with the highest security standards.
For its part, the Ledger Flex seeks to offer a revolutionary experience with an intuitive touch screen and advanced technology to manage digital assets in a simple and secure way.
In a scenario 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 the management of their assets.
