Lédger® Live Desktop: The Ultimate Secure Hub for Managing Your Crypto

Problem: Managing Crypto Without Security Leads to Unnecessary Risks

Cryptocurrency investments are becoming a crucial part of financial portfolios globally. Whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DeFi tokens, more people are joining the digital asset revolution. Yet, millions are still managing their crypto through risky methods—leaving funds on exchanges, using insecure mobile apps, or juggling multiple browser wallets.

The result? Billions lost every year to exchange hacks, phishing scams, and user mistakes. When you don’t control your private keys, you don’t control your crypto.

Agitation: You Could Lose Everything in a Single Click

Take the example of Emily from the United States. She was excited about her growing Ethereum portfolio but left it all on a centralized exchange. When the exchange suffered a cyberattack, she lost $20,000 overnight with no way to recover it.

Stories like this are common—without secure self-custody, all your financial gains can disappear instantly. Scattered management also creates frustration, making it difficult to track portfolio performance or access DeFi safely.
