Ledger and BTC Direct announce partnership for better payment options
We are excited and proud to announce our new partnership with Ledger. Founded in 2014 in France, Ledger produces the best selling, state-of-the-art hardware wallets in the world.
You can safely store, exchange, send and receive your crypto’s and NFTs on Ledgers hardware wallets. And now you can buy your favourite cryptocurrencies in a safe and easy way through the BTC Direct app in the discovery section of Ledger Live.
Different coins, most popular payment methods
The BTC Direct app in Ledger Live offers Ledger users the ability to buy BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC, XRP, BCH and USDC, and we will continue to add more coins.
You can pay for your crypto with the 8 most popular and trusted European payment methods (like Visa, Mastercard, iDeal, Sofort, Sepa bank transfer, Bancontact, Giropay and EPS) straight from your hardware wallet environment.
Open Ledger Live, go to the Discover tab and you’ll see BTC Direct.
No need for wallet addres
What is also great about this app is that after the initial setup, in the future you will be automatically connected to BTC Direct without a separate login. This means that buying crypto is fast and super easy. The app automatically connects to your wallet so there is no need to add your receiving address manually. This is an important safety feature that makes sure that you can’t make mistakes and hackers can not adjust your wallet address.
BTC Direct separates itself from other fiat on ramps in offering the most competitive pricing for users, ease of use and fast execution. If you are a proud owner of a Ledger, be sure to try it out!

With the BTC Direct partnership, Ledger will be able to seamlessly serve European users. Thanks to BTC Direct’s many crypto on-ramp gateway integrations ranging from Visa, MasterCard, Giropay, iDeal, and many more.
Why hardware wallet
The safest way to store your crypto and NFTs is to use a hardware wallet. A hardware wallet stores the users private keys and keeps it offline. You need private keys to be able to send your crypto to another wallet or to sell your crypto. The main principle behind hardware wallets is to provide full isolation between your private keys and your easy-to-hack computer or smartphone. This way you can keep your crypto holdings safe, even if the computer you are using has been infected.
