Ledger Brings Cold Storage to Tokenized Stocks in Partnership with Kraken's Parent

A new partnership between Ledger and Payward, the parent company of Kraken, brings cold storage to tokenized stocks. Investors can now store their tokenized shares offline using Ledger hardware wallets.

The integration connects Payward's xStocks platform with Ledger devices, including the flagship Stax model designed by former Apple designer Tony Fadell. This marks one of the clearest signs yet that crypto infrastructure and traditional stock trading are blending into a single ecosystem.

The deal allows investors to route trades through their Ledger hardware while also surfacing xStocks trading directly on the device interface, in addition to its existing custody functions. This partnership gives users a way to move tokenized shares off exchange platforms and onto a hardware device they physically control.
