Ledger Nano X Review
The most popular hardware wallet — secure, versatile, and worth the price.
The Ledger Nano X is the benchmark hardware wallet for serious self-custody. Despite Ledger's 2023 firmware controversy, the device remains the best combination of broad asset support, Bluetooth mobile access, and established security track record.
The Ledger Nano X is the most widely used hardware wallet on the market, supporting 5,500+ assets and offering Bluetooth connectivity for mobile use. The device's security chip (CC EAL5+) and isolation of private keys from internet-connected devices represent the gold standard for long-term storage. Concerns about Ledger Recover (a 2023 opt-in seed backup service) raised questions about key extraction, but the core device security remains uncompromised for standard use.
