Learn more about crypto!
Buying crypto does not necessarily mean owning it. What counts is who controls the private keys associated with it. Anyone with access to your private keys is the true owner of your digital assets and can do whatever they want with them. If you keep your crypto on an exchange, the exchange actually owns your private keys, and therefore, your assets. Not you. Much like a bank holding your money. Online middlemen can go bankrupt or be hacked.
That’s why Ledger built a secure solution that enables you to maintain full ownership and control over your private keys throughout your crypto journey – not your keys, not your crypto.
