Ledger wallets now available at Best Buy

Crypto wallet provider Ledger has partnered with leading consumer electronics and software appliances retailer Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) to bring Ledger wallets to millions of users.

According to a deal recently signed between the top crypto hardware devices maker and the retail store provider, customers now have access to same-day pickup of the Ledger Nano X and Ledger Nano S wallets at all of Best Buys’ locations – including 900 stores across the United States.

For new investors looking to get their first Bitcoin hardware wallet, the companies will provide interactive displays at select Best Buy locations where customers will learn about the various types of cryptocurrency wallets. 

Buyers will also benefit from guidance on hardware wallet activation, Ledger said in a blog post.

Well, it’s the case of ‘not your keys, not your crypto’ if you don’t have control over your crypto private keys – and you know what that means: funds un-SAFU.

As has been witnessed over the past few years, crypto hacks mean self-custody is undoubtedly the way to go. It gets even better for a hodler if it’s a secure offline or cold storage wallet option. Cases such as the bankruptcy filings for crypto lenders Celsius, Voyager and Hodlnaut have only served to highlight the need for one to own their crypto keys.

Ledger Nano X or Ledger Nano S, two of the best hardware wallets for cryptocurrencies, (KeepKey, Trezor and CoolWallet are other top options) offer military-grade security but are also easy to use. 

Availability at Best Buy  means that anyone can get a Ledger hardware wallet from the nearest Best Buy store and start benefiting from safe storage of their crypto assets.

Pascal Gauthier, Chairman and CEO of Ledger, commented:

“There has never been a more important time to truly own your digital assets. Too many hacks, too many people losing their money through no fault of their own. With Best Buy we are making it easier than ever for customers in the US to take security into their own hands. In just 1 hour anyone can stop themselves from getting rekt. Remember: not your keys, not your coins.”

Ledger currently offers wallet support for 23 cryptocurrencies and more than 1,500 Ethereum-based tokens. The platform also secures 45% and 40% of the top transactions on NFT marketplace OpenSea and Bored Ape, respectively.

MATIC is now available for purchase at over 90M merchants, can this increase its value?

Polygon (MATIC/USD) is now available on the Binance Card in Argentina. 

This marked a major moment for those that want to use cryptocurrencies for daily purchases, as the card can be used at 90 million merchants on a global scale.

Polygon is a network that utilizes a modified Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to achieve consensus within each block. 

Polygon is an Ethereum (ETH/USD) scaling solution and infrastructure development platform that features numerous developer tools, such as the Polygon SDK, as well as the modular and flexible developer framework. MATIC is the native cryptocurrency that powers the network.

In the latest crypto news, we covered how Polygon partnered with Starbucks.

However, Polygon is increasing its utility and usage further, as the team made an announcement on Twitter that MATIC became listed on the Binance Card in Argentina on September 15, 2022.

This means that the MATIC cryptocurrency can now be used to make purchases at over 90 million merchants located within thousands of stores worldwide.

Furthermore, users can also get up to 8% cashback and zero fees on any ATM withdrawals. 

This additional utility and use case level can increase the MATIC cryptocurrency’s overall value.

On September 16, 2022, Polygon (MATIC) had a value of $0.8111.

MATIC/USDT Chart By TradingView.

The all-time high of the Polygon (MATIC) cryptocurrency was on December 27, 2021, when it reached a value of $2.92.

When we go over its performance in August, Polygon (MATIC) had its highest point of value on August 14 at $1.0436, while its lowest point was on August 27 at $0.7637.

Here, we can see a decrease in its value by $0.2799 or by 27%.

However, MATIC increased in value from August 27 to September 16 by $0.0474 or by 6%.

With this in mind, investors might want to buy MATIC as it can climb to $1.2 by the end of September 2022.
