Which EU authority supervises Ledger?

Ledger is not under direct CASP supervision — see the rationale above for whether MiCA applies.

Where can EU users access Ledger?

Ledger is outside MiCA scope as a non-CASP product, so MiCA-based EU access restrictions do not apply. National consumer protection and tax rules still apply per jurisdiction.

Is Ledger MiCA-licensed?

Outside MiCA ScopeLedger does not require MiCA authorisation.

MiCA applies to crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) — entities that provide custodial, trading, or related services. Pure hardware-wallet manufacturers like Ledger do not perform CASP services and are not subject to MiCA authorisation requirements. Ledger Live (Ledger's companion software) interfaces with various third-party CASPs that are themselves MiCA-licensed where required.

What this means for retail users

Ledger does not require MiCA authorisation because it does not perform crypto-asset service provider activities. MiCA applies to entities that custody, trade, or facilitate crypto-asset services for clients — not to hardware-wallet manufacturers, tax-reporting software, or fully decentralised protocols.

Self-custody hardware wallet for long-term holdings. EU retail users can use Ledger without MiCA-status concerns, but national consumer-protection, tax, and other relevant laws still apply per jurisdiction.
