In a major leap forward for cryptocurrency accessibility and security, Ledger and Crypto.com have announced a strategic integration that simplifies how users buy and store digital assets. This new collaboration embeds Crypto.com Pay directly into the Ledger Live app, enabling users to purchase cryptocurrencies and withdraw them straight to their Ledger hardware wallets—all within a single, secure interface.
This advancement eliminates the traditionally cumbersome process of manually transferring funds between platforms, reducing the risk of human error and potential security breaches. For the first time, millions of crypto holders can now enjoy a frictionless experience that combines the ease of centralized exchange purchasing with the ironclad security of self-custody.

A Smarter Way to Own Crypto
Previously, users who wanted to move assets from Crypto.com to a Ledger device had to copy wallet addresses manually—a step vulnerable to mistakes or malicious address swaps. Now, with the integration of Crypto.com Pay into Ledger Live, the entire process is automated and contained within a trusted environment.
Users can purchase popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, XRP, Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) directly through Ledger Live using their Crypto.com account. Once purchased, funds are automatically sent to their Ledger Nano X or Ledger Stax hardware wallet—no additional steps required.
This streamlined workflow is especially valuable for newcomers who may not be familiar with the intricacies of blockchain transactions. It also benefits experienced users who prioritize speed, security, and simplicity.
Why This Integration Matters
The partnership between Ledger and Crypto.com marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of digital asset ownership. As crypto adoption grows—fueled by recent milestones like the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the U.S.—there’s increasing demand for solutions that bridge the gap between user-friendly platforms and robust security.
With over 100 million Crypto.com users and more than 6.5 million Ledger wallet holders, this integration has the potential to impact millions worldwide. It supports a shared vision: empowering individuals to take full control of their financial future without sacrificing convenience or safety.

Enhancing Security Without Sacrificing Convenience
Security remains at the heart of this collaboration. Ledger has long been recognized as the gold standard in hardware wallet technology, with over 20% of the world’s crypto assets secured by its devices. Its proprietary Ledger Donjon team is among the most respected in offensive security research, continuously testing and hardening defenses against emerging threats.
Meanwhile, Crypto.com holds numerous regulatory and security certifications, reinforcing its position as a leader in compliance and data protection. By combining these strengths, the integration ensures users get both enterprise-grade security and consumer-friendly functionality.
“At Ledger, our goal is to allow users to do everything they want to do with crypto ownership without ever compromising on security or self-custody,” said Ian Rogers, Chief Experience Officer at Ledger. “This is just the first step in our partnership to give Ledger users access to the excellent services Crypto.com provides.”
Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, added: “Bringing increased utility and greater efficiencies without sacrificing safety and security is critical for further mainstreaming crypto.”

Supporting the Future of Self-Custody
Self-custody—the practice of holding private keys personally rather than relying on third-party exchanges—is widely regarded as the safest way to own cryptocurrency. Yet, adoption has been slowed by perceived complexity. This integration removes major friction points, making self-custody more accessible than ever.
The timing is significant. In 2023 alone, more than $14 billion worth of digital assets were lost to hacks, scams, or mismanagement. Hardware wallets like Ledger’s act as a frontline defense against these threats by keeping private keys offline and out of reach from cybercriminals.
Now, with direct purchasing power built into Ledger Live via Crypto.com Pay, users no longer need to choose between convenience and protection.

The integration is live now across both desktop and mobile versions of Ledger Live. To begin:
- Update to the latest version of Ledger Live.
