Ledger: one of France’s top startup<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ledger is a French startup dedicated to designing crypto wallets. Their top product was the Nano-S, a sort of USB drive where assets and keys <\/span>were stored<\/span><\/span> safely<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ledger had a goal of selling 30,000 units and sold over 1.5 million units.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Nano S has been a smashing success but Ledger didn’t stop there. Being among the first to offer such a convenient storage key is great but remaining at the top is as important.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ledger unveiled a newer model at the CES 2019.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Nano X<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Given a quick look, the new Nano X<\/a> may seem like the old one but it holds many new features.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The screen is bigger, so is the storage capacity (six times more than the Nano S) and it is able to store up to 1100 sorts of cryptocurrencies<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Storing crypto assets on a cloud, smartphone, or computer, is a tricky strategy because they can be so <\/span><\/span>easily<\/span><\/span> hacked<\/span><\/span>. <\/span>However<\/span><\/span>, having to link the wallet to a computer every time on needs to check the balance can be a bit unpractical.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This <\/span>is covered by<\/span><\/span> the new model and a new app which enables secure Bluetooth connection. The user will be able to <\/span>safely<\/span><\/span> manage transactions and get real-time balance updates.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ledger won CES Innovation Award in Cyber Security and Personal Privacy this year<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Ledger was already in the spotlight in 2018 and they did it again in 2019. <\/span>The new Nano X won the Innovation Award in Cyber Security and Personal Privacy during this year’s edition<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Despite difficult times for crypto-currencies one year after prices started their insane drop, this may actually be good times for Ledger<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Indeed, people tend to hold on to their Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins, awaiting better days to trade them<\/span><\/span>. In the meantime, they should <\/span>be stored<\/span><\/span> safely<\/span><\/span>. Whether in a lively market or during downtime, it seems Ledger is always there to grab the top spot.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
