French crypto hardware wallet provider Ledger is planning an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, which may value the company at more than $4 billion.

Ledger is in talks with bankers at Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Barclays about a potential US listing, the Financial Times reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

In November 2025, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier said the company was planning fundraising or a listing in New York, noting that money for crypto was “certainly not in Europe.”

If confirmed, the IPO talks would underscore rising demand for crypto storage solutions amid a surge in crypto hacks, with over $3.4 billion stolen in 2025, according to Chainalysis.

Ledger posts record year amid rising crypto hacks

Founded in Paris in 2014, Ledger is one of the largest makers of crypto hardware wallets — physical, USB-like devices that store private keys offline to help protect holdings from online hacks and malware.

Against this backdrop of increasing crypto theft, Ledger had a record year in 2025, with revenue hitting “triple-digit millions.”

“We’re being hacked more and more every day […] hacking of your bank accounts, of your crypto, and it’s not going to get better next year and the year after that,” Ledger CEO Gauthier said in late 2025.

Ledger declined to confirm the report about a potential US IPO when contacted by Cointelegraph.

The FT’s report came a day after BitGo, one of the world’s largest crypto custody providers, went public on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday.

According to NYSE data, BitGo shares (BTGO) opened at $22.40, or 24% up from the IPO price of $18, surging to as high as $24.50 on the first day of trading.

YZi Labs, a venture capital company linked to the former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, subsequently announced a strategic investment in BitGo’s IPO.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
