Ledger asks resellers to halt sales in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong

Ledger has requested sellers and distributors in six Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong to suspend sales and remove its hardware wallets from shelves. This action is due to an ongoing investigation into reports of tampered devices leading to stolen cryptocurrency. While the company initially focused on a specific reseller, CryptoBilis, the suspension now applies to resellers in Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. Ledger states that the confirmed incidents are currently contained to Southeast Asia, and there is no evidence its own infrastructure, systems, or direct sales channels have been compromised. However, users in other regions, including Europe, have also reported finding suspected device tampering. The company is working to determine who tampered with the devices and at what point in the distribution chain it occurred.

Ripple (XRP) Announces Major Partnership Agreement! Announcement Just Made

Ripple has announced a strategic partnership with Privy, a digital wallet infrastructure provider owned by payments giant Stripe. The collaboration aims to expand use cases for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) by integrating Privy's embedded wallet technology into the network. This integration will allow developers to build applications that facilitate payments using XRP, Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin, and other digital assets on the XRPL without requiring end-users to directly manage private keys or recovery phrases. The move is expected to unlock significant potential, especially for fintech companies, payment service providers, and AI-powered applications. Developers will gain the ability to programmatically create, manage, and sign wallets on the XRPL via Privy's infrastructure. Users will retain the option to export their private keys and recovery phrases, maintaining control and mobility over their assets.
