Ledger Eyes Fresh $100M Raise Amid Growing Demand

The Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is in talks to raise at least $100 million in new funding round, according to Bloomberg.

Bankrupt custodial lenders, including Celsius, Voyager, 3AC, and Vault, resulted in the loss of funds for investors. Moreover, these firms traded using their user funds.

These concerns generally boosted Ledger's business which is focused on self-custody solutions. Investors prefer to keep custody of their funds.

A year ago, Ledger's completed their Series C funding and raised $380 million at a valuation of $1.5 billion led by Dan Tapiero’s 10T Holdings

Ledger also offers crypto debit cards. The Crypto Life (CL) card was released on the Visa network last winter. The CL card immediately recasts crypto into fiat from a guaranteed wallet when paid to merchants.
