The updates mark a major step forward for the French tech company, best known for its crypto hardware wallets. This time, Ledger is broadening its focus beyond cryptocurrency to include digital identity protection and AI-era security, offering users a unified ecosystem for managing digital value securely and efficiently.

From Hardware Wallets to Digital Signers
Ledger’s iconic hardware wallets are getting a name change — they’ll now be known as Ledger signers. The shift reflects the company’s broader mission: protecting both digital assets and personal identity in an increasingly interconnected, AI-driven world.
The Nano Gen5, the latest iteration in Ledger’s bestselling device line, features Bluetooth and NFC connectivity, an E Ink touchscreen, and enhanced security features such as Clear Signing, Transaction Check, and the Ledger Recovery Key — a physical “spare key” that enables tap-to-recover access to wallets if needed.
Design legend Tony Fadell, inventor of the iPod, collaborated with iconic interface designer Susan Kare to create custom iconography for the new device, blending function with style.
“The Ledger Nano series is the most successful digital asset security device of all time, with millions sold and none ever hacked,” said Pascal Gauthier, Ledger’s Chairman and CEO. “The all-new Ledger Nano is built for the challenges and opportunities of today — and ready for those coming in the future.”
The Ledger Wallet: A Central Hub for Digital Value
Formerly known as Ledger Live, the new Ledger Wallet app is designed as an intuitive control center for managing all things digital — from assets to decentralized applications. It supports buying, selling, swapping, and trading, as well as direct connections to popular DeFi platforms like 1inch.
A standout feature is its integration of Noah’s “Cash-To-Stablecoin” tool, which allows users to convert fiat currency to USDC without additional fees.
“Ledger is for people who are serious about their digital wealth,” said Ian Rogers, the company’s Chief Experience Officer. “Together, the Ledger Wallet and your Ledger signer make it simple and safe to access the full range of decentralized finance.”
Rogers added that Ledger supports all of the top 100 tokens and many more, offering users complete ownership and security — a contrast, he said, to exchanges and software-only wallets that expose users to unnecessary risks.
Enterprise-Grade Security for Institutions
Ledger also rolled out Enterprise Multisig, a platform designed for banks, custodians, governments, and crypto-native businesses managing large-scale operations. It strengthens treasury management, smart contract governance, and multi-chain security with “Clear Signed” transactions verified directly on Ledger devices.
Each action, the company explained, provides a “single, trusted point of truth” — enhancing security without sacrificing operational efficiency.
Built and Tested for the Future
All of Ledger’s new products have been tested by the company’s Donjon security team and vetted by independent experts. The Nano Gen5 is now available for purchase at $179, with shipments beginning immediately.
A New Standard for Digital Security
With these launches, Ledger is positioning itself not just as a crypto company, but as a leader in digital trust — one bridging the gap between traditional finance, decentralized systems, and AI-era identity protection.
As the lines between assets, data, and identity continue to blur, Ledger’s latest move underscores a simple truth: in the digital future, security is everything.
