During Op3n 2025 in Paris, Ledger introduced a major update to its product line, unveiling the Ledger Nano Gen5 hardware wallet. The event also showcased the rebranded Ledger Wallet app (formerly Ledger Live) and the new Enterprise Multisig platform, highlighting the company’s broader strategic transformation.
Ledger positions the Nano Gen5 as a versatile “signer” device, capable of securely signing transactions, smart contracts, and acting as a digital ID. The launch reflects the growing importance of digital identity verification in an era increasingly influenced by AI and the blurring lines between physical and online worlds.
“Ledger is redefining its products to meet the future head-on, introducing scalable solutions for Proof of You and Proof of Authority,” the company stated.
Key Features of Ledger Nano Gen5:
- E Ink touchscreen for easy interaction
- USB-C, Bluetooth, and NFC connectivity
- Secure Element chip and proprietary Ledger OS
- Advanced security tools like Clear Signing and Transaction Check
- Ledger Recovery functionality, enabling seed phrase restoration
Priced at $179, the Nano Gen5 is designed to be more accessible while maintaining Ledger’s high-security standards. CEO Pascal Gauthier described it as:
“A new generation signer hardware, accessible to everyone, with the market’s best security and user experience. Ledger’s next generation starts today.”
The rebranded Ledger Wallet app now functions as a central hub for managing crypto assets, integrating third-party services such as the 1inch aggregator, and offering a smoother, more versatile user experience.
For institutional clients, Ledger unveiled the Enterprise Multisig platform, allowing multiple parties to co-sign transactions using Ledger devices, providing a single source of truth for organizational crypto operations.
This launch positions Ledger ahead in the hardware wallet market, following recent competitor announcements, including new devices from Trezor.
