Hardware wallets to store your multi-asset crypto portfolio

A hardware wallet is a must-have for every cryptocurrency investor. Here are our top 5 recommendations that will cover a wide range of needs.

Let's start with brands. There are many of them on the market, but when you think about long-term security, stick to the big brands tested by thousands of users for many years. There have been many interesting devices in the past that are no longer supported because the company no longer exists. You want a solution that can last a decade. Another factor to consider is the support for the coins you want to store. For these two reasons, we recommend sticking to Trezor and Ledger devices.

Trezor is a true veteran. It was released by Satoshi Labs in 2014 and you can call it the original hardware wallet. Slush, the legendary founder of Satoshi Labs, also founded the first Bitcoin mining pool in the world, Slush Pool (rebranded as Braiins Pool). Trezor Model T is the successor of Model One, featuring a large touchscreen that makes typing your PIN and seed phrases much easier, offering a great user experience. The designs and code are open source, so they have been extensively tested by the global community. These devices are still the gold standard of hardware wallets.

Ledger arrived on the market a bit later, but it currently dominates the industry. All Ledger devices have exactly the same coin support, which is the most extensive on the market. However, if you need iOS support, Nano X is a better option. Ledger Stax is the newest in the pack. It's not yet available, but it seems to be particularly useful for interacting with smart contracts when you need to sign long messages, and its bigger screen is very useful for displaying this information. Another benefit is the ability to showcase one of your NFTs on the lockscreen. It seems like a perfect place for your Legendary Badger!

When it comes to the security of your digital assets, you can't go wrong with any of these five!
