Hardware Wallets

A crypto hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, so hackers and malware cannot reach your coins. Every transaction must be confirmed on the device itself, which makes cold storage the safest way to hold Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies for the long term.

The Crypto Merchant is an authorized US reseller for leading brands including Trezor, Ledger, BitBox, Coldcard, SafePal, Keystone and Ellipal. All devices ship genuine and new. Pair your wallet with a steel seed phrase backup to protect your recovery words from fire and water.

Frequently asked questions

Which hardware wallet is best for beginners?
The Ledger Nano S Plus and Trezor Safe 3 are the two we recommend most often. Both cost under $100, support thousands of coins and have simple setup apps. Tangem cards suit people who only want to use a phone.

Are these hardware wallets genuine?
Yes. The Crypto Merchant is an authorized reseller and sources every device from the manufacturer or its authorized distributor. Wallets ship new and factory sealed, never pre-configured.

Ledger or Trezor?
Ledger uses a certified Secure Element and closed source firmware with the widest coin and app support. Trezor is fully open source and now adds a Secure Element on the Safe 3 and Safe 5. Both are safe choices; pick based on the coins you hold and whether open source matters to you.

Do I need a Bitcoin only wallet?
If you hold only Bitcoin, a Bitcoin only device such as the BitBox02 Bitcoin edition, Blockstream Jade or Coldcard has a smaller attack surface. Multi coin wallets are the better choice if you hold Ethereum, Solana or tokens.

What else should I buy with a hardware wallet?
A steel or titanium seed phrase backup is the one accessory every owner should have, because the recovery phrase is the only way back in if the device fails. A case helps if you travel with the wallet.
