In today’s digital economy, managing cryptocurrency requires more than just convenience — it demands powerful security, full ownership, and seamless access. The Ledger Live App delivers exactly that.

Unlike exchange apps that hold your private keys, the Ledger Live App supports true self-custody. This means:
