New Ledger Nano X Can Pair With iPhone Via Bluetooth

Popular cryptocurrency hardware wallet company Ledger has revealed its latest device – the Ledger Nano X. The new device’s most characteristic new capability is that it will enable users to use Bluetooth to connect their mobile devices via the new Ledge Live mobile app. 


Bluetooth Enabled Ledger Wallet

The popular manufacturer of cryptocurrency hardware wallets Ledger has revealed its latest product on Sunday at the CES conference – the Ledger Nano X.

The new device supports up to 100 cryptocurrencies, which is a notable increase compared to the Ledger Nano S. It also features a larger screen.

The most notable new feature, however, is the fact that users will be able to connect the wallet to mobile devices using the Ledger Live mobile app. The goal of the company is to increase mobility as hardware wallets typically connect over USB, which isn’t exactly mobile-friendly.

The Ledger Nano X costs $119 and it is already available for pre-order on the company’s official website. Shipping is set to start in March.

The Ledger Live app is already available for download for iOS, Windows, and Linux OS and it will be available for iOS and Android on January 28th.

The app will allow users to create new accounts or to import existing ones. It’s also supposed to make sending and receiving cryptocurrencies a lot easier while enabling users to monitor their portfolios from a single place.

Notes Eric Larchevêque, CEO at Ledger:

The Ledger Nano X includes all of what you loved about your Nano S, but with new and improved major features. […] With its Bluetooth connectability and increased capacity, the Ledger Nano X provides an enhanced user experience while delivering the mobility and state-of-the-art security that customers expect from Ledger. It is exciting to be recognized by CES as the go-to leader for securing crypto assets.

What About Security?

Hardware wallets typically connect over USB. As such, adding Bluetooth to the Nano X could be considered a bit controversial because a wireless connection can increase the risk of unauthorized access.

According to the official website, however, the device offers top-notch security, isolating the user’s private keys inside a certified secure element (CC EAL 5+). This is the same chip used in credit cards and passports.

Additionally, the hardware-level PIN protections, as well as the limited range of connectivity via Bluetooth, should, in theory, mitigate the risks.

However, back in December, a research team published a presentation on how to hack cryptocurrency hardware wallets, including the Trezor One, Ledger Nano S, and Ledger Blue.

Immediately after that, Ledger came up with an official statement, refuting all reported vulnerabilities, and reassuring users that their “crypto assets are still secure on your Ledger device.”

After Poloniex dump, prices were cheap enough for whales to buy in at a discount. Anyhow, thanks to WeChat integration, NEM bulls are surging and aiming at the moon.

This is awesome news and as such NEM bulls are up 150% and market capitalization is past $4B making this cryptocurrency the cheapest in the top 10.

As we can see in the weekly chart, the first level of our Fibonacci extension at $0.59 has been hit and now, August’s highs of $0.36 is now our immediate support. NEM bulls should be looking for any dip as another buy opportunity.

As per our trade recommendation, DASH bulls ended up leading the way and closing above our immediate resistance line at $670.

Even after a couple of testing support, price continued to make higher highs closing above the 20 period MA.

Therefore, at current prices and a stochastics buy signal in place, DASH is realigning itself and moving as per the weekly chart’s bullish trend.

In light of this, any break and close above this resistance line means we enter long. Better entry prices will definitely be found if there is a retest of support-previous resistance-after break out.

IOTA BULLS AIM AT $5.65

With any buy entry, the bulls get stronger and as it is, it is likely to surge past December 6 highs.

As we can see in the chart, after IOTA bulls picked up from our $3.2 support. To support this, price action has been strong and moving along the 20 period MA. There is also a stochastics buy signal in place.

We are certain that bulls are in charge just by looking at the diverging %k and %d of the stochastics which are almost parallel meaning many IOTA buyers are in the trade.

For now, short term traders should eye $5.65.

MONERO BULLS CLOSE IN ON $300

As the chart shows, Monero bulls are in charge. Because of price action alignment in the higher time frame this bull trend might continue past $300.

First off, after that rebound from the 20 period MA, prices are moving higher but with strong bull momentum.

Moreover, stochastic signals are almost parallel and in sync with the weekly trend which is also bullish.

For now, any retest and bullish confirmation of the 20 period MA will represent a buy opportunity. Bull short term target is December 6 highs at around $300.

NEO BEARS ARE FADING OUT AS BULLS AIM AT $45

Additionally, judging from price action NEO bulls are likely to expand in coming days. Price action is bouncing from our double bottoms towards $45 which is around the upper limit of the W-formation.

Otherwise, buyers are in charge and we shall be taking long positions with stop losses tucked below $34.
