Ledger has launched Wallet 4.0, a significant upgrade to its crypto app, enhancing self-custody with features akin to a trading platform while maintaining its hardware-first security approach. The update, initially available in a limited release, will see additional features rolled out in April 2026. Key enhancements include faster navigation, improved portfolio tools, expanded earning options, clearer swap fees, and real-time transaction notifications, all while keeping sensitive actions tied to a Ledger device. This release marks a strategic shift for Ledger, moving from a hardware wallet maker to a comprehensive crypto platform. The app now includes a redesigned home screen with market intelligence, such as trending tokens and the Fear and Greed Index, alongside revamped portfolio analytics. New users can access the app before receiving their hardware, though private key generation and transaction signing still require a Ledger device. Ledger's expansion into the US, including appointing John Andrews as CFO and opening a New York office, highlights its focus on growing beyond hardware sales into trading and services.
