Ledger Launches New Flex Wallet

Ledger has launched its new hardware wallet, the Ledger Flex, priced at $249, making it more accessible than its $399 predecessor, the Ledger Stax. The Flex features a 2.8-inch E Ink touchscreen, USB-C, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC connectivity, and promises long battery life. Both Flex and Stax incorporate a secure element chip and a proprietary operating system, BOLOS, ensuring top-notch security. Ledger has also introduced a new Security Key app for two-factor authentication and passwordless logins, compatible with major platforms like Google and Amazon. This launch aims to make self-custody of cryptocurrency more user-friendly amidst growing concerns over the security of crypto assets held on exchanges.
