CZ calls for transparent casings on all hardware wallets
- —Zhao proposed transparent casings for hardware wallets on October 14, 2026
- —The remarks followed a suspected tampering case involving Ledger devices sold by CryptoBilis
- —Reports of about $86 million in losses in BTC, ETH and TRON emerged on October 9-10
- —Zhao called the issue isolated to one vendor rather than a flaw in Ledger's design
Why it matters: The incident highlights supply-chain risk when buying wallets through resellers and pushes the industry to verify sourcing.
