Swiss and EU-based Web3 fintech platform YouHodler has integrated natively with Ledger Live, the companion app for Ledger hardware wallets, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies directly through YouHodler's services within the Ledger Live interface.
The integration provides YouHodler's regulated crypto finance services to Ledger Live's global user base, enabling direct crypto purchases whilst maintaining asset control within Ledger's security infrastructure. Users can now access YouHodler's services through the "Buy" button in the Ledger Live app.
Ledger is a digital asset security company that has sold more than 7.5 million devices to consumers across 165+ countries and serves over 100 financial institutions and commercial brands. The company estimates that over 20 per cent of the world's crypto assets are secured by Ledger technology.
"This integration comes at an important time for the industry, as global crypto platforms are providing greater transparency, consumer protection, and accountability," said Ilya Volkov, CEO and Co-Founder of YouHodler. "Operating under Swiss and EU regulatory frameworks, YouHodler offers a clear path for the industry that blends financial innovation with compliance. By partnering with Ledger, a brand synonymous with trust and self-custody, YouHodler is helping define what the next era of secure and regulated crypto engagement should look like: intuitive, compliant, and user empowered."
The partnership combines Ledger's security features with YouHodler's digital wealth management tools, including what the companies describe as competitive exchange rates and low transaction fees. YouHodler's platform offers features including instant card withdrawals and access to International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs).
"YouHodler integrating their onramp service in Ledger Live is another example of our commitment to providing unparalleled optionality to Ledger users for buying crypto," said Jean-Francois Rochet, Executive Vice President of Consumer Services at Ledger. "Self-custody is the cornerstone of crypto, and making it easy to securely buy and hold digital assets is essential for crypto adoption."
YouHodler operates as a Web3 platform bridging fiat and crypto financial services, offering crypto-backed loans, high-yield crypto accounts, universal currency exchange, and direct fiat onramps under Swiss and EU regulatory frameworks.
"This marks a major milestone not just for YouHodler, but for the evolution of regulated crypto finance," added Volkov. "Together with Ledger, we're setting a new standard for how users should interact with crypto, with trust, compliance, and utility built in from the start. This integration further positions YouHodler as a premier financial services layer across the crypto space and expands Ledger's partner ecosystem with our Web3 platform built for real-world use cases."
Ledger, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2024, operates the Ledger Donjon security team and cites industry data showing over USD 14 billion was lost to hacking, scams or mismanagement in 2023.
