Deep dives
Institutional Adoption and Market Evolution
The crypto landscape is expected to undergo significant transformations in 2025, especially concerning institutional adoption. Bitcoin and ETH spot ETFs have generated substantial inflows, signaling serious interest from traditional finance. Major asset managers and institutions are now looking to secure crypto as part of their portfolios, with companies like BlackRock paving the way for this shift. This interest necessitates the evolution of security systems and hardware to handle substantial digital asset management effectively.
Ledger Enterprise Solutions and Their Importance
Ledger provides critical enterprise solutions tailored for exchanges, custodians, and asset managers to enhance digital asset security. With a mix of hardware and software, Ledger Enterprise facilitates governance and auditing processes necessary for managing large volumes of crypto. This approach empowers organizations to maintain security and minimize counterparty risks, especially as they scale their crypto holdings. The need for such solutions has only intensified as institutions become aware of the security challenges linked to digital assets.
Security, Flexibility, and Cost Efficiency
Security remains a top priority for asset managers, and Ledger's solutions are designed to ensure robust protection for crypto assets. The flexibility to use multiple exchanges and custodians simultaneously not only simplifies the trading process but also helps reduce costs significantly—by up to 80%. This streamlined operation minimizes the need for extensive back-and-forth transactions that can drive up fees. As asset managers navigate the landscape for optimal trading routes, these advantages become increasingly vital.
Innovative Trading Platform: TradeLink
TradeLink, Ledger's new off-exchange trading platform, revolutionizes how asset managers can transact securely without their funds being held on exchanges. The platform operates in such a way that custodians secure the assets, allowing for seamless and more economical trades. It minimizes trading fees and enhances access to liquidity from multiple sources without compromising security. This innovative approach is set to greatly benefit asset managers, expanding their trading capabilities while ensuring peace of mind regarding their assets.
Ledger has defined self-custody for millions of individual crypto users. But who secures the corporate Bitcoin custodians? Increasingly it's Ledger, too, via Ledger Enterprise.
