July marks the end of the grace period under MiCA, opening a new chapter for crypto in Europe. It's a good moment to step back and think about something fundamental: what it means to truly own your crypto. Ownership comes down to keys. Whoever holds the private keys controls the assets. Self-custody simply means you hold those keys yourself, so your crypto is directly, fully in your hands. This is the original promise of digital assets: direct ownership, with no intermediary between you and what you own. Your access doesn't hinge on anyone else's systems or decisions. It's just yours. A hardware signer keeps your keys offline and secure, the Ledger Wallet™ app gives you a single place to manage everything, and you approve every transaction yourself. Three steps: choose a signer, set it up, move your assets over. If MiCA has you thinking about how you hold your crypto, consider taking the next step toward full control. Your keys, your crypto.

Three technologies are converging, and together they are reshaping the foundations of our digital world: Crypto. AI. Quantum computing. Each is transformative on its own. They are redefining security, trust, and digital sovereignty. Technology must rise to meet this moment. We need infrastructure that protects citizens, institutions, and the integrity of our digital systems by design. France has a unique opportunity. We are home to world-class cryptographic expertise, leading AI research and companies like Mistral and AMI Labs, and one of the world's most ambitious quantum ecosystems. Few countries combine strengths across all three. At Ledger, we sit at the intersection of these technologies. We believe Europe has everything it needs to build the trusted infrastructure for the next generation of the internet. Technological sovereignty isn't a distant ambition. It's a choice we can make today. #AI #QuantumComputing #Crypto #DigitalSovereignty #FrenchTech #TrustInfrastructure #Ledger #VivaTech Arthur Mensch Yann LeCun Emmanuel Macron.

Most demos of AI agents that move money skip the hard part: who gives final approval. The Device Management Kit is built for that problem. It's the entry point for building with Ledger devices: connect over USB or BLE, observe device state, and send commands or full device-action sequences from your application. In the video, an AI agent turns a plain-English instruction into an Ethereum transaction. The agent prepares the work, but the signature only happens on the hardware, with the user verifying exactly what they're approving on the device screen. Agent proposes, device confirms. That's the layer that agentic systems are missing. An agent can prepare a transaction; it shouldn't get the final say when value is involved. Hardware-enforced approval keeps a human in the loop. If you're building agent tooling, wallet integrations, or anything that talks to a Ledger device, the docs are the place to start. Build free from compromise 👇

An AI agent that can read your data, act for you, and take in outside input is useful for the same reasons it's exposed. Each of those three is also a way in. In the new episode of The Ledger Podcast, Leonard Lin, CTO of Shisa.AI, in conversation with Ledger Chief Human Agency Officer ian rogers, works through the security problem underneath the agent hype.

A secure transaction tells you the key was authorised. It does not tell you who stands behind the agent using it. As AI agents begin moving value across chains, both questions matter. Today, CCD goes live in Ledger Wallet, bringing together hardware-rooted security and Concordium’s protocol-level identity infrastructure. The result is a stronger foundation for verified agents, verified payments, and accountable autonomy. Because the future of the agentic economy depends on more than intelligence. It depends on trust. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gTUjN8TA

VivaTech wrapped last week, and once again proved why it has become one of the world’s most important stages for technology, business, and innovation. Credit to Maurice Lévy and the VivaTech team for building a place where the right questions get asked. One of them stood out: who can you trust in the age of AI? At Ledger, we take that question seriously. As AI becomes more agentic, it will propose, transact, and execute. Human intent needs to remain verifiable. That is what we build for. Signers do not store assets. They verify, authorize, and prove intent. A signer is your cryptographic proof of you. Trust starts with hardware.

The biggest risk isn't quantum arriving early. It's crypto starting late." In this excerpt from The Ledger Podcast, Ledger CTO Charles Guillemet and Head of Brand Development Mo El-Sayed break down the quantum question, without the doom. The point is that by the time a capable quantum computer exists, it'll be too late to start preparing. The responsible move is to start migrating now, not later. Watch the full podcast episode 👇
