Can crypto users trust the supply chain behind hardware wallets?

A Cointelegraph piece examines whether crypto users can trust the supply chain behind hardware wallets, prompted by reports of Ledger hardware wallet implants that have renewed scrutiny of the middlemen handling devices before they reach buyers, including through authorized sellers. The article is an explainer-style discussion of supply-chain risk rather than a report of a specific new breach, exploit, or financial loss. Traders would care only insofar as it highlights operational security concerns for self-custody users, but it contains no market-moving data or price-relevant developments.
