The cryptocurrency hardware wallet firm Ledger, known for its Ledger Nano S wallet, is in the latest crypto news for unveiling a brother to this wallet in the form of a Bluetooth-based hardware wallet.
According to a press release that was shared with one major crypto news media outlet, the new wallet was originally shown at the CES 2019 conference in Las Vegas. The firm has announced the mobile app linked to it to go live on January 28th, allowing its users to manage their transactions and check their balances from a mobile device.
The Ledger Nano X, which is the name of the new wallet, will have the capacity to store 100 crypto assets. Meanwhile, the Ledger Nano S had begun supporting the altcoin Monero (XMR) from November last year.
In October this year, the major tech giant Sony had also announced that it had created a contactless crypto hardware wallet that utilized IC smart technology – noting that the device would be able to manage private keys for storing private information on the blockchain and managing crypto holdings.
Over the summer, Ledger noted that they had sold more than 1 million wallets in 2017, attracting larger tech investors and big players such as Samsung, Google’s venture arm GV and Siemens. The company also opened a Hong Kong office at the end of October 2018.
