Updated: Jan 08 2026- Security Enhancement: Ledger's introduction of the Ledger Recover service, which splits a user's recovery phrase into three encrypted shards stored with different independent providers, significantly enhances wallet security, ensuring users can safely recover assets even if they lose their device.
- Complexity Resolution: While self-custody is central to crypto security, Badault notes that users still face the complexity of 24-word recovery phrases, and Ledger's solution aims to simplify this process, making it easier for users to recover assets if they lose their phrases.
- Inheritance Planning Focus: With the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, Badault highlights the increasing attention on inheritance planning, noting that while Ledger does not currently offer automated inheritance features, the demand for secure digital asset transfer is rising.
- Young User Demand: Badault emphasizes that the younger generation's interest in cryptocurrencies is increasing, and traditional financial institutions must adapt to this demand or risk losing customers, prompting Ledger to design products suitable for institutional and multigenerational use.
