The Ledger Podcast

Last week, a new vulnerability was discovered in Apple’s M1 chips. This unpatchable vulnerability makes it more clear than ever that using your phone or computer to secure your private keys may be convenient, but it comes at the cost of security.Our CTO Charles Guillemet has spent his whole career studying cryptography, and he knows these types of attacks well. He sat down with our CXO Ian Rogers to discuss what this new vulnerability is, how it works, and why hardware wallets are the best way to keep your assets secure. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the first On the Ledger episode of 2024!2023 was a year of challenge and adjustments for the crypto community, but as we step into 2024, a glimmer of hope is emerging. The market is showing signs of recovery, builders are re-energized, and regulatory clarity is paving the way for even greater innovation. And amidst this renewed optimism, one ecosystem stands out – Solana.A few days ago at Davos, Ledger’s Chairman and CEO, Pascal Gauthier, got to spend time with an old friend and fellow leader in the ecosystem, Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation, to discuss the exciting developments underway and what's in store for the ecosystem in the year ahead. Not to mention the inaugural WEF3 event they held together… but we’ll get into that in a minute. We're thrilled to share their insights with you today and provide a glimpse into what 2024 might have in store. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Under newly proposed U.S. Treasury rules, potentially effective 2025, people providing certain DeFi websites, NFT marketplaces, crypto wallets, or other services “facilitating” crypto sales would have to make a decision: centralize, shut down, or block all U.S. users (and possibly VPNs).Under this backdrop, we invited policy leads from Block, Metamask and Blockchain Association to talk about their experience with the now delayed regulation and the implications for self-custody.
