Ledger wallet exploit renews ETF debate as $86 million at risk

A recently uncovered exploit involving Ledger hardware wallets has sparked fresh discussion in the cryptocurrency community, with many investors weighing the safety of self-custody against the use of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for storing Bitcoin . Bitcoin analyst Plan B noted that his earlier decision to transfer Bitcoin (BTC) holdings to ETFs in 2025 proved prudent in light of the latest Coldcard and Ledger security incidents. Through an X post, he stated that he had “zero regrets” regarding this move, citing the heightened risks highlighted by the hardware wallet vulnerabilities.
