A new announcement by a global leader in securing crypto assets, Ledger, revealed the company’s new hardware cryptocurrency wallet — Ledger Nano X.

According to the announcement, the new model is a Bluetooth-enabled wallet, which will be the company’s new signature product. It is also a spiritual successor to Ledger Nano S, which has already sold more than 1.4 million units around the world. It is known for being one of the most secure wallets today.

Now, the new model comes with an even better design, additional features, and an improved user experience. One of the new features is the Ledger Live mobile app, which will allow users to make transactions, manage multiple new apps, check their balance, and much more. The app will also be able to provide Ledger Nano S users with the ability to monitor their balance.

Ledger Nano X also comes with improved storage capacity, and it will be able to offer as many as 1100 different digital currencies. This is a massive improvement from Ledger Nano S, which could store six times fewer coins. Furthermore, the new model will feature things like a larger screen, a more advanced interface, an easy backup option, and state-of-the-art security.

Issues regarding data privacy have forced users to seek out trusted solutions and partners who can provide them, which is one of the reasons why Ledger has grown to become the most popular wallet provider today. With each new model, Ledger is expanding their wallets’ capabilities, while also increasing their security, and making them more and more user-friendly.

Finally, it is also noteworthy that the wallet has received the CES Innovation Award in Cyber Security and Personal Privacy for 2019.
