Ledger Unveils New Flex Hardware Wallet at Bitcoin Nashville

Ledger has unveiled its latest hardware wallet, the Ledger Flex, at the Bitcoin 2024 convention. This new device boasts a secure E Ink touchscreen and NFC connectivity, designed to enhance usability without compromising security.

Building on Ledger’s reputation for secure hardware, the Ledger Flex comes in a sleek black and steel design, with a special Ledger Flex BTC Edition also available. The Flex is priced at $249, between Ledger’s Nano series and the $399 Ledger Stax.

The wallet’s 2.8-inch E Ink touchscreen offers clear visibility for approving transactions and logins, with exceptional battery life lasting weeks or even months on a single charge. This follows the earlier release of the Ledger Stax, known for its curved E Ink display.

“Our new secure touchscreen category will make self-custody more accessible than ever before for more consumers and enterprises,” said Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier at the event

The Ledger Flex wallet integrates seamlessly with the Ledger Live app, supporting transactions across 70 blockchains and 200 decentralized applications (dApps). It features USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2, and NFC connectivity, all within a compact 78.40 mm × 56.50 mm × 7.70 mm frame and weighing just 57.5 grams.

In addition to Flex, Ledger introduced the Ledger Security Key app, which is available for both Flex and Stax wallets. This app enhances security with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and Passkey capabilities to protect users’ identities.
