“We secure 20% of the world's crypto. And when we started out, the only people that were trading or needed to secure their crypto were users. Crypto was a retail business at first. And then as it grew, we started having more and more companies coming to us and saying, 'Well, we love your consumer solution, but we need s...”
“There's real money involved. And then the other thing is that I think for a long time the ethos was it's like crypto versus fiat, etc. And I think that we're coming to a place where TradFi is really adopting crypto, but it's kind of like more of a partnership than one taking the other one over. And that's the way it sh...”
“I mean there's definitely fragmentation and what's interesting is that there's always shifts happening, right? So if we had had this conversation a year ago, I would have told you that a lot of what we're doing or looking at is you know environments where we feel regulation is going to be you know helping our business...”
“this idea that like self-custody should be like a right, like almost like a human right, right? You should be able to self-custody your assets wherever you are. And I think that that's in the legislation one way or another. And that should definitely be something that we defend.”
“I'll say it that way like had they been using Ledger Enterprise or another solution but Ledger Enterprise that hack would not have happened right we have something called clear signing which means that like you see the transaction before you sign it what happened there was blind signing so you can see the transaction i...”
“I think that regulation is a good thing. Uh because people need to have a playing field and understand what that playing field is. If there's no regulation, you don't really know if I do this, is it okay? Is that okay? Is that not okay?”
“I think that what we're going to be seeing in 25 and Beyond is a new wave and that wave is like a tsunami coming from institutions.”
“The institutional wave means that a lot of people that didn't have crypto on their balance sheet will start having crypto on their balance sheet and they're going to need you to secure that crypto.”
“this morning I'm in Dubai my bank calls me because I made a wire transfer and they want me to explain why Etc and it wasn't even that much like two grand and I'm like this is my money like why are you calling me asking me why I made a wire transfer of $2,000 and then when I ask you something you don't answer or you put...”
“I think what Black Box is doing and and not just ETF like what they did last week on tokenized Securities Etc I mean I think that's super exciting so we're really happy that that they're doing that and not just them all the all the others as well and I think it's a first step I think you start you know maybe with an ET...”
“c'est une véritable reconnaissance institutionnelle et c'est ça va aussi faciliter l'accès et moi en fait la manière dont dont j'y pense c'est que le tu vois on peut on le verrait un peu à trois étapes si la première étape c'est j'achète un ETF ou en fait j'achète une parti de de enfin d'un spot et Cera d'un spot trade...”
“mon mon chiffre préféré c'est 0 dollar hacké sur les solutions Enterprise de Ledger donc ça c'est c'est une chose qui est importante”
“The crypto market was built by retail investors, not by institutional investors. And even to this day, you know, like 15 years in, the share of retail is bigger than the share of institutional. That will likely change.”
“Exchanges don't want to hold asset manager funds. The asset managers don't want to give up custody of the assets until the last minute. So we need to build like a third-party holding that holds the assets until the trade has gone through.”
“la souveraineté pour tout le monde puisque c'est la la capacité d'avoir souveraineté sur sur ce qu'on possède ce qui est pas toujours le cas aujourd'hui moi quand je do envoyer de l'argent à quelqu'un je suis obligé d'aller demander à ma banque une permission et elle me demande de lui envoyer des choses et cetera dans...”

Just above the din of raucous crowd and with flood lights in full affect at Token 2049 in Dubai, UAE I met with Ledger's Vice ...
2025 will be marking some major shifts. One of them is institutional adoption. The institutions are coming. If you've been in crypto for a while, this phrase used to sound like a meme signaling wider market adoption. But now it’s reality. Bitcoin spot ETFs launched this year, bringing billions of dollars in inflows—BlackRock's ETF alone crossed $30B. ETH spot ETFs are following suit, and companies are putting Bitcoin on their balance sheets. There’s even chatter about Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Plus, real-world asset tokenization is taking center stage with initiatives like BUIDL…
