Ledger Unveils New Hardware Wallet at Nashville Bitcoin Conference

At the Bitcoin 2024 convention in Nashville, Ledger launched its newest hardware wallet, Ledger Flex.

This device features a secure E Ink touchscreen, NFC connectivity, and runs on Ledger’s Secure OS, aiming to improve user experience without sacrificing security.

The Ledger Flex showcases a sleek black and steel design, with a special BTC Edition also available. It boasts a 2.8-inch high-resolution E Ink display for clear transaction visibility and extended battery life, lasting weeks or months on a single charge.

This release follows the earlier launch of Ledger Stax, known for its curved E Ink display. According to Pascal Gauthier, Chairman & CEO of Ledger, the introduction of both products this year aims to revolutionize self-custody. Ledger currently secures over 20% of global digital assets, and these new devices are intended to make self-custody more user-friendly for individuals and businesses.

Priced at $249, Ledger Flex is positioned between the Nano series and the $399 Ledger Stax. It integrates with the Ledger Live app, supporting 70 blockchains and 200 dApps.

Ledger also introduced the Ledger Security Key app, compatible with both Ledger Stax and Ledger Flex, for secure logins using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Passkey features. Chief Experience Officer Ian Rogers emphasized that secure touchscreens are crucial for true security.
