Major hardware crypto wallet providers Ledger and Trezor have both unveiled their latest models, offering users enhanced options for securing their digital assets through self-custody. Paris-based Ledger launched the Ledger Nano Gen5, marking a significant shift as the company moves away from the term “hardware wallet,” now calling its devices “Ledger signers.” The new Nano Gen5 boasts a larger screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and includes the recently introduced Ledger Recovery Key. Priced at $179, this device aims to deliver a user-friendly experience inspired by Apple’s design ethos, with contributions from notable designers like Tony Fadell and Susan Kare.
Meanwhile, Prague-based Trezor introduced the Safe 7, its first quantum-ready hardware wallet. This next-generation device features a dual-chip design, combining an auditable TROPIC01 chip with an EAL6+ certified element, alongside wireless capabilities such as Bluetooth and charging. At 249 euros, the Safe 7 prepares for the future by enabling post-quantum updates, underscoring Trezor’s commitment to long-lasting security. Despite these advancements, both companies continue to support their older models with ongoing updates, ensuring a broad range of users remain safeguarded.
These latest innovations from Ledger and Trezor highlight the evolving landscape of hardware wallets, merging cutting-edge security with improved usability to meet the growing demands of cryptocurrency self-custody.
