**News Flash: Ledger CEO Champions Self-Custody and Hardware Wallet Evolution**

- At the Blockchain Life event in Dubai, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier emphasized the essence of self-custody in crypto. "If not self-custody, why crypto?" he quipped. 🤔

- Gauthier compared hardware wallet evolution to mobile phones, stressing they must keep up with crypto's non-stop nature. Ledger's new products, like Ledger Flex, aim to secure both crypto and online secrets.

- Highlighting a $55M loss due to blind signing, Gauthier advocates for clear signing, likening blind signing to "signing blank checks online."
